must be used in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for 
agricultural pesticides [40 CFR l70.240(d)(4)]. When using the closed system, the mixers and loaders 
PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements 
listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agriCUltural pesticides [40 CFR l70.240(d)(4-6)], the 
handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 
User Safety Recommendations 
Users should: 
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. 
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean 
clothing. 
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. 
As soon as pOSSIble, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. 
Environmental Hazards 
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the 
mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. 
Ground Water Advisory: 
This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of 
agriCUltural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water 
table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination. 
Surface Water Advisory: 
Metolachlor can contaminate surface water through ground spray drift. Under some conditions, 
metolachlor may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in 
runoff water), for several months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with 
readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying 
extremely shallow ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not 
separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-laying tile drainage 
systems that drain to surface water.

GENERALINFO~TION 
Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels of each product used in tank mixes. Tank mixtures 
are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is registered. 
Metolachlor 8E is a selective herbicide recommended as a preplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, 
or preemergence treatment in water or fluid fertilizer for the control of most annual grasses and certain 
broadleaf weeds in com (all types), cotton, peanuts, pod crops, potatoes, safflower, grain or forage 
sorghum, and soybeans. 
Note: Do not use in nurseries, landscape plantings, or turf. 
Do not apply under conditions that 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 y, inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. 
Other atrazine brands may be used when directions specify a Metolachlor 8E tank mixture with AAtrex .... 
Follow the rates, recommendations, and limitations on the AAtrex'" or other atrazine proquct label, if 
other brands of atrazine are used. 
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 Metolachlor 8E is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting must not exceed the depth of 
incorporation. 
Effectiveness may be reduced if dry weather follows preemergence application of Metolachlor BE or a 
tank mixture. Cultivate if weeds develop. 
4

When referring to weed control, 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. 
Precaution: Abnormally high soil moisture conditions during early crop development may cause injury 
following the use of Metolachlor SE. 
Soil Textures and Herbicide Rates 
Where rates are based on coarse, medium, or fine-textured soils, it is understood that soil textural classes 
are generally categorized as follows: 
Coarse Medium Fine 
Sand Loam Silty clay loam Sandy_ cIa»' 
Loamy sand Silt Sandy clay loam Clay loam 
Sandy loam Silt loam Silty clay Clay 
When a range of rates is provided in rate tables and elsewhere on this label, use the lower rate on soils 
relatively coarse-textured or low in organic matter and use the higher rate on soils relatively fine-textured 
or high in organic matter. 
Note: Metolachlor SE may be applied preemergence alone, or in combination with tank mix partners as 
specified on this label, following preplant incorporated herbicides when used according to their label 
recommendations, provided that such use is not prohibited on the respective labels. 
Clean sprayer or other application device thoroughly before using. Dispose of the cleaning solution 
responsibly. Do not use a sprayer or other application equipment that is contaminated with any other 
materials or crop damage or clogging of the application device may result. 
Mixing Instructions 
Metolacblor BE Alone: Mix Metolachlor SE with water or fluid fertilizer and apply as a spray. Fill a 
spray tank y, - Y. full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the recommended amount of Metolachlor SE, 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 V. full with water and start a~tation; add 2,4-D, AAtrex®, Balan~, 
Banvel® or Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt, Basagran®, Butoxone , Butyrac®, Canopy®, Caparol® 4L, 
Command®, Cotoran®, Eptam®, Lorox®, Marksman®, MSMA, Princep®, Prowl®, Pursuit®, AAtrex® + 
Princep®, Scepter®, Sencor®, Sonalan~, Starfire®, or Treflan~, and allow it to become dispersed; then add 
Metolachlor SE; then add Gramoxone® Extra, Landmaster® BW, Roundup® or Gly Star" Original if these 
products are being used; then add the rest of the water. 
For tank mixtures with AAtrex®, Banvel® or Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt, Canopy®, Caparol® 4L, 
Command®, Cotoran®·, Eptam®, Lorox®, Marksman®, Princep®, Prowl®·, Pursuit®, AAtrex® + Princep®, 
Scepter®, Sencor®, Sonalan~, Starfire®, or Treflan~, fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as 
carrier, except in the AAtrex® postemergence and the Banvel® or Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt 
postemergence tank mixes·. When mixing with AAtrex®, see additional mixing instructions on the 
AAtrex® label. Check the compatibility with fluid fertilizers for each tank mixture as described below 
before mixing in the spray tank. For all tank mixtures, agitate during mixing and application to maintain 
a uniform suspension. 
·See Special Mixing Instructions for tank mixtures with Cotoran® and with AAtrex® or Princep® + 
Prowl® under the appropriate tank mixture section.

Compatibility Test 
A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Metolachlor 8E with other 
pesticides. The fonowing test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals'/A. For other spray volumes, make 
appropriate changes in the ingredients. 
Note: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace an or part of the water in the spray. 
Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with 
pestlclde(s) before use. Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with suspensions of fertilizer 
and pesticides. 
Check compatibility by following the procedure below: 
1. Add 1 pt. of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one·quart jars with tight lids. Note: Use the 
same source of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at the temperature the 
tank mix win he applied. 
2. To one of the jars, add v.. tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as 
Compex or Unite (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pts./l00 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative proportions based on 
recommended label rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add them separately with dry pesticides 
first, then flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to 
mix thoroughly. 
4. After adding an ingredients, put lids on and tighten, invert each jar 10 times to mix. Allow the 
mixture to stand 15-30 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 pesticide(s) in water before 
addition, or (b) add y, of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other Yz to the 
emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is 
still observed, do not use the mixture. 
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the 
Storage and Disposal section of this label. 
Application Procedures 
Application Timing - Metolachlor 8E alone or in some tank mixtures with other labeled herbicides may 
be applied for weed control in certain crops at various times. Refer to the appropriate crop section of the 
label to determine ifapplication timings listed below are recommended. 
Pre plant Surface-Applied: Minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, Metolachlor 8E applied alone or 
in some tank mixtures may be applied up to 45 days before planting certain crops. Use only split 
applications for treatments made 30-45 days before planting, with 2/3 the recommended broadcast rate for 
the crop and soil texture applied initially and the remaining 113 applied at planting. Treatments less than 
30 days before planting may be made either as a split or a single application. Refer to the individual crop 
sections to determine if early preplant surface application is recommended. If weeds are present at the 
time of treatment, apply in a tank mixture combination with a contact herbicide such as Gramoxone· 
Extra, Roundup· or Gly Star'· Original. Observe the directions for use, precautions, and restrictions on 
the label of the tank mix partner. Weed control will be diminished if treated soil is moved out ofthe row 
or untreated soil is moved to the surface during planting. 
Pre plant Incorporated: Apply Metolachlor 8E 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 
6

capable of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Use a preplant incorporated application if furrow 
irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected. If crop will be planted on 
beds, apply and incorporate Metolachlor 8E after bed formation, unless otherwise specified. 
Preemergellce: Apply Metolachlor 8E during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but before 
weed or crop emergence. 
Special Application Procedures 
CA Ollly - Preplallt Illcorporated (Corll, SajJlower, Pod Crops): Broadcast Metolachlor 8E to the soil 
and thoroughly incorporate with a disk or similar implement set to till 4-6 inches deep. For more 
thorough incorporation, till the soil in 2 different directions (cross-till). Crops may be planted on flat 
surface or on beds. Use caution when forming beds so that only soil from the Metolachlor 8E treated 
zone is used, avoid bringing untreated soil to the surface. If application is made to preformed beds, 
incorporate Metolachlor 8E with a tillage implement set to till 2-4 inches deep. Use care during tilling to 
keep the tilled (Metolachlor 8E treated soil) on the beds. 
Preemergellce: Apply Metolachlor 8E after planting and water with sprinkler or flood irrigation within 
7-10 days. 
Fall AppUcatioll (Only In IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, North of Route 20 In the state of NE, and North of 
Route 136 In the state ofIL): Use on medium and fine soils containing greater than 2.5% organic matter 
that will be planted to com or soybeans the next spring. Do not apply when ground is frozen. 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 applications and spring 
applications must not exceed the maximum total rate for the specific crop, or illegal residues may result. 
Groulld Applicatioll: Apply Metolachlor 8E alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a 
minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre, unless specified otherwise. 
Use only sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For Metolachlor 8E tank mixtures with 
wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh. 
Thoroughly rinse sprayer with clean water immediately after use. 
Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula: 
band width in inches 
row width in inches 
Low Carrier Application 
x broadcast 
rate per acre 
= amount needed 
per acre of field 
For Broadcast Groulld Applicatioll Ollly: 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: (I) maintain up to 35-40 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. 
The maximum recommended sprayer speed is IS mph. Thoroughly rinse sprayer with clean water 
immediately following each use. 
Note: In order to reduce drift and increase application accuracy, lo~ pressure nozzles are recommended. 
Use care when using automatic rate controlling devices to spray the material within the rated working 
pressure and flow ranges of the nozzles selected. Use nozzle screens 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 800 or 1100 are recommended. 
7

Read and follow the manufacturer's directions for optimum setup and performance of their nozzles or 
tips. 
Aerial Application 
Metolachlor 8E may be applied alone or in tank mixtures with AAtrex'", Lorox'", or Sencor'" in a 
minimum spray volume of 2 gals.! A by aircraft. Metolachlor 8E may also be applied by air in 
combination with Balan~, Prowl'", or Treflan'". Avoid application under conditions where uniform 
coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. In order to assure that spray will 
be controlled within the target area when used according to label directions, make applications at a 
maximum height of 10 ft., using low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi, and restrict 
application to periods when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph. To assure that spray will not adversely 
affect adjacent sensitive nontarget plants, apply Metolachlor 8E alone or Metolachlor 8E + AAtrex'" by 
aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants, or apply Metolachlor 8E + Lorox'" 
or Sencor'" at a minimum upwind distance of 300 ft. from sensitive plants. 
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and 
prolonged contact with skin. 
Aerial Drift Management: 
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many 
equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and grower 
are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. 
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from 
aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, 
public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed Y. the length of the wingspan or 
rotor. 
2. Nozzles must always point backwards parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards 
more than 45 degrees. 
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar 
with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information 
section below. 
Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information: 
Information on Droplet Size 
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management 
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger 
droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under 
unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature 
Inversions). 
Controlling Droplet Size 
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with 
higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types 
lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate 
nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 
8

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces 
larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 
horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle 
types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream 
nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. 
Boom Length 
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than % of the wingspan or rotor length 
may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. 
Application Height 
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless 
a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe 
reduces exposure of drop lets to evaporation and wind. 
__ . Swath Adjustment 
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the 
up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting 
the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential 
(higher wind, smaller drops, etc.) 
Wind 
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet 
size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided 
below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. 
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind 
patterns and how they affect spray drift. 
Temperature and Humidity 
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to 
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 
Temperature Inversions 
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Teroperature 
inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated 
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during 
inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are 
common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and 
often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not 
present, inversions can also be identified 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. 
Sensitive Areas 
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. 
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is 
minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

Center Pivot Irrigation Application 
Metolachlor 8E alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides specified on this label, which are registered 
for center pivot application, may be applied in irrigation water preemergence (after planting, but before 
weeds or crop emerge) at rates recommended on this label. Only apply this product through a center 
pivot irrigation system. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop 
injury, ineffectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of 
treated water. Users should contact State Extension specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other 
experts for questions regarding calibration. 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 the system 
down and make 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 back 
flow. 
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 a 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 Y, - 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (112 inch) on coarse-textured soils and the 
higher volume (I inch) on fine-textured soils. More than I inch of water at application may reduce 
weed control by moving the herbicide below the effective zone in the soil. 
Precantion for center pivot applications: Where 
sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result. 
exceSSively, crop injury may result. 
Impregnating Dry Fertilizers 
sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap 
Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap 
Metolachlor 8E may be used to impregnate many dry bulk granular fertilizers alone or in selected 
Metolachlor 8E tank mixtures which are registered for preplant incorporated or preplant surface 
application which are used to control weeds in crops on the Metolachlor 8E label and are not prohibited 
from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers. 
10

Follow all directions for use and precautionary language on the respective product labels regarding target 
crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods (including application timing), and rotational crop 
restrictions When applying Metolachlor 8E alone or in mixtures with dry bulk granular fertilizers. 
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and 
application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the herbicide/fertilizer mixture. 
The herbicide/fertilizer mixture may be prepared by using any closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other 
commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. Ensure nozzles used to spray Metolachlor 8E or Metolachlor 
8E mixtures onto the fertilizer are placed to provide uniform spray coverage. Use care to avoid spraying 
the walls of the blender. Spray should be directed only onto the fertilizer. 
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, a highly absorptive material such as Agsorb'" or Celatom 
MP-79"', or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth materials may be added to obtain a dry, free­
flowing mixture. Only add absorptive materials after the herbicide has been thoroughly blended into the 
fertilizer mixture. Best application results will be obtained by using a granule of 6/30 particle size or of a 
size similar to that of the fertilizer material being used. In general, less than 2% by weight of absorptive 
material will be needed. Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight. 
Calculate the amounts of Me to lac hi or 8E, AAtrex"', AAtrex'" + Princep", Princep"', Sencor"', or Sonalan ~ 
by the following formula: 
2000 x 
lbs. of fertilizer per acre 
pts.! A of liquid or 
flowable product 
= pts. ofliquid or flowable 
product per ton of fertilizer 
2000 X lbs.! A of = lbs. of dry product 
lbs. of fertilizer per acre dry product per ton of fertilizer 
Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application (Metolachlor BE Alone): High humidity, high urea 
concentrations, low fertilizer use rates, and dusty fertilizer may cause fertilizer mixture to build up or plug 
the distributor head, air tubes, or nozzle deflector plates. To minimize buildup, premix Metolachlor 8E 
with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1-4 pts./gal. of Metolachlor 8E. Aromatic 200 is a 
noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum product. Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer 
blender or through direct injection systems. Drying agents should not be used when using Aromatic 200. 
Notes: (I) Use mixtures of Metolachlor 8E and Aromatic 200 on dry fertilizer only. Poor results or crop 
injury may result if these mixtures are used in water or liquid fertilizer solutions for spraying applications. 
(2) When impregnating Metolachlor 8E in a blender before application, a drier mixture can be attained by 
substituting a drying agent for Aromatic 200. The use of Agsorb FG or drying agents of 6/30 particle size 
are recommended. (3) Drying agents are not recommended for use with On-The-Go impregnation 
equipment. 
Precautions: To avoid the potential for explosion, (I) Do not impregnate Metolachlor 8E or Metolachlor 
8E mixtures on ammonium, potassium, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. 
(2) Do not use Metolachlor 8E or Metolachlor 8E mixtures on straight limestone, since absorption will 
not be achieved. Limestone containing fertilizer blends can be impregnated. 
Application: Apply 200-700 lbs. of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture per acre. To ensure best results, 
uniformly apply the mixture to the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending. 
Uniform application of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is essential to prevent possible crop injury. Non­
uniform application may result in less than satisfactory weed control. In areas where conventional tillage 
is practiced, a shallow incorporation of the mixture into the soil may improve weed control. On fine or 
medium textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, i.e., reduced tillage situations or in 
some conventional till situations, make applications approximately 30 days before planting to allow 
11

moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse textured soils, make 
applications approximately 14 days prior to planting. 
Precaution: Crop injury may be avoided by not using the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where 
bedding occurs.

·See General Information section of this label. Due to variable weather conditions, control of these 
weeds may be erratic. Weed control may be improved by following these suggested procedures: 
I. When making preplant incorporated or preemergence applications in com, use 1.95-2.6 pts.lA or the 
preplant surface-applied rates for Metolachlor 8E Plus alone or in tank mixture if allowed. 
2. Destroy germinating and emerged weeds by thoroughly tilling soil. IfMetolachlor 8E is to be applied 
preplant incorporated, this tillage may be used to incorporate Metolachlor 8E if uniform 2-inch 
incorporation is achieved as recommended under Application Procedures. 
3. Immediately after tillage, plant crop into moist soil. If Metolachlor 8E is to be used preemergence, 
apply at planting or immediately after planting. 
4. If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply Y:,-\ inch of water. Use lower 
water volume (112 inch) on coarse textured soils and higher volume (I inch) on fine textured soils. 
Refer to the Center Pivot Irrigation Application section of this label for this method of applying 
Metolachlor BE. 
5. Ifrain does not occur within 2 days and irrigation is not possible after planting and application, weed 
control may be decreased. If this occurs, a uniform, shaUow cultivation is recommended as soon as 
weeds emerge. 
·*For partial control of Florida beggarweed, use a minimum of 2 pts.! A and apply preemergence. 
* •• For partial control of Texas panicum, use a minimum of 2 pts.lA and apply through a center pivot

CROPS 
CORN (ALL TYPES) 
Metolachlor 8E Alone 
Metolachlor 8E may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or lay-by, using 
the appropriate rate specified below. 
Preplant Surface-Applied: Refer to the instructions for use of Metolachlor 8E alone under Application 
Procedures. 
(1) Fall Application (Apply after September 30 In MN, ND, SD, WI and north of Route 30 In 
IA; Apply after October 15 north of Route 91 In NE and south of Route 30 In IA; Apply 
after October 31 north of Route 136 In the state ofIL): For all locations, apply to crop stubble 
after harvest when the sustained soil temperature at a 4-inch depth is less than 55°F and faUing. 
On soils having greater than 2.5% organic matter in minimum-till or no-tillage systems, use 1.67-
2.0 pts.lA on medium textured and 2.0 pts.lA on fine textured soils. Do not apply while ground is 
frozen. A tillage operation may precede the application. A faU and/or a spring tillage may folJow 
application, but do not exceed an incorporation depth greater than 2-3 inches. Minimize furrow 
and ridge formation in the tilJage operations. Note: If a spring application is made, the total rate 
of the falJ application plus the spring application must not exceed the maximum total rate for 
corn, or illegal residues may result. 
(2) In CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, SD, TN, WI, and WY, use only on 
medium and fine textured soils with minimum- or no-tilJage systems. Apply 2/3 the 
recommended rate ofMetolachlor 8E (1.67 pts.lA on medium soils and 2.0 pts.lA on fme soils) as 
a split treatment 30-45 days before planting and the remainder at planting. If applying less than 
30 days prior to planting, applications may be made as either a split or single treatment. For 
coarse soils, apply 1.33 pts.lA not more than 2 weeks prior to planting. 
(3) In CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, MI, NH, NY, OR, PA, RI, VA, VT, and WV, on medium and fine 
textured soils with minimum- or no-tillage systems, preplant surface applications may be applied 
folJowing the directions for use provided above. If less than satisfactory length of weed control 
following the earlier treatment is observed due to the amount of rainfalJ, a postemergence 
application of an appropriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass weed herbicide may be used (i.e., 
AAtrexll>, Accentll>, Banvelll> or Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt, Basagranll>, Beaconll>, Bicepll>, 
bromoxynil (Buctril'"), Exceedll>, or 2,4-D). Do not exceed the total labeled rate for corn on a 
given soil texture if the postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used preplant surface­
applied. Observe alJ directions for use, precautionary language, and limitations on the label of the 
postemergence herbicide.

,/, /tl 'I

Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence: Refer to the instructions for use of Metolachlor 8E alone 
under Application Procedures. For coarse soils with organic matter content less than 3%, apply 1.0-1.33 
pts.lA of Metolachlor SE. For coarse soils with organic matter content greater than 3%, apply 1.33 pts.lA. 
For medium soils, apply 1.33-1.67 pts.lA of Metolachlor 8E. For fine soils with organic matter content 
less than 3%, apply 1.33-1.67 pts.lA. For fine soils with organic matter content greater than 3%, apply 
1.67-2.0 pts.l A Metolachlor 8E. 
(1) Lay-by: The duration of weed control in com may be extended by applying a maximum rate of 
2.0 pts.l A of Metolachlor 8E after com emergence until the com plants reach 40 inches in height, 
following any preplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence herbicide 
application, including Metolachlor 8E. Applications should be made to soil free of emerged 
weeds and directed towards the base of com plants in excess of 5 inches tall for best results. 
During anyone crop year, the maximum rate applied to com should not exceed 4.0 pts.lA, 
depending on the soil texture. 
Note for aU appHcatlons to corn: Do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 30 days 
following application to avoid possible illegal residues. 
(2) Partial Control of Shattercane, Wild Proso Millet, Woolly Cupgrass and Eclipta: More 
consistent partial control of shattercane, wild proso millet, woolly cupgrass, or eclipta may be 
obtained by applying 1.95-2.5 pts.lA as a single application; or apply 1.0-1.33 pts.lA of 
Metolachlor SE preplant incorporated followed by an application of 1.0-1.33 pIS.! A of 
Metolachlor SE applied preemergence. Make the preemergence application during or after 
planting, but before weeds and com emerge. When a heavy infestation of shattercane, wild proso 
millet, woolly cupgrass, or eclipta is expected, apply the 1.33 pts.lA rate of Metolachlor 8E. To 
control late emerging weeds, a shallow cultivation may be needed. 
(3) WooUy Cupgrass and Wild Proso Millet Control Program: For control of these species, use 
the following 3-step program: (I) Apply Metolachlor 8E early preplant, preplant incorporated, or 
pre emergence at 1.67 pts.l A on medium soils and 2.0 pts.l A on fine textured soils, up to the 
maximum label rate. If rainfall does not occur within 5-7 days, lightly incorporate with a rotary 
hoe; (2) When grasses are 2-3 inches tall and com is at least 4 inches tall, apply a postemergence 
tank mix of Beacon® at O.3S oz.lA or I packet of Exceed® per 4 acres plus Accent® SP at 0.33 
oz.l A plus I qt. of crop oil concentrate plus I gaIJ A of 2S% nitrogen, or the equivalent amount of 
ammonium sulfate; and (3) Cultivate 14-21 days after the postemergence application. 
Notes: (I) megal residues may result if Metolachlor 8E is applied at more than the labeled application 
rate for a given soil texture per year either as a single or split treatment. (2) In com, Metolachlor SE may 
be applied up to 2.67 pis.! A as either a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment 
on soils having an organic matter content between 6% and 20%. (3) If annual weeds should escape 
following a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment of Metolachlor 8E, follow 
with a postemergence application of an appropriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass weed herbicide (i.e., 
AAtrex®, Accent®, Banvel® or Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt, Basagran®, Beacon®, Bicep®, bromoxynil 
(Buctril~, Exceed, or 2,4-D). Do not exceed the total labeled rate for com on a give soil texture if the 
postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used in the earlier treatment. (4) Buctril® may be applied 
postemergence alone or in tank-mix combination with AAtrex®. Do not exceed 1.2 Ibs. a.i.! A of AAtrex® 
in tank-mix combination with Buctril® postemergence. Refer to the AAtrex® and Buctril® labels for 
specific rates and precautions. (5) Do not use Metolachlor SE on peat or muck soils.

The following applications may be made where Metolachlor 8E is applied in tank mixture or 
sequentially with other registered com herbicides for more consistent partial control of shattercane or 
wild proso millet: 
(I) Apply 1.0-1.33 pts.lA of Metolachlor 8E + 2.0 Ibs. a.i.lA of AAtrex" or Princep" preplant 
incorporated, followed by 1.0-1.33 pts.lA of Metolachlor 8E preemergence. The preemergence 
application should be made during or after planting, but before weeds and com emerge. 
(2) Apply Metolachlor 8E at 1.33 pts.lA alone or in tank mixture with up to 2.0 lbs. a.i.lA of 
AAtrex" or Princep"', preplant incorporated. For a given soil texture, do not exceed the total rate 
of triazine herbicide recommended in combination with Metolachlor 8E. Follow the preplant 
incorporated application with a post-directed application of Evik" 80W at 2.5 lbs.l A. Refer to 
the Evik" 80W label for specific directions for, the post-directed application.

(3) Apply a preplant incorporated treatment of Eradicane® or Sutan® (or equivalent EPTC or 
butylate fonnulations) at labeled rates, foliowed by a preemergence application of Metolachlor 
8E at 1.0-1.33 pts.lA. Do not use Eradicane® or Sutan® on soils where rapid degradation has 
been shown to occur. The preemergence application should be made during or after planting, but 
before weeds and com emerge. 
Precaution: A shallow cultivation may be needed after the preemergence or postemergence 
application to help control any late emerging shattercane or wild proso millet. 
Note: In soils with less than 6% organic matter, do not exceed a total of 2.0 Ibs. a.i.lA of 
metolachlor (2.0 pts. of Metolachlor 8E) in the preplant incorporated plus preemergence applications

COTTON 
Metolachlor SE Alone 
Application: Apply Metolachlor 8E preemergence only in AR, LA, MS, TN, and the bootheel of MO at 
the rate of 0.50-1.0 pts'!A on sandy loams, 0.67-\.33 pts.!A on medium soils, or 1.0-\.33 pts.!A on fine 
soils. Metolachlor 8E may be applied preplant incorporated or preemergence in NM, OK, and Tel\lls at 
1.0 pt./A on sandy loams, 1.0-1.33 pts.!A on medium soils, or 1.33 pts.!A on fine soils. Apply 
Metolachlor 8E postemergence to cotton and preemergence to weeds at 0.50-1.33 pts.! A, according to the 
state limitations in the following Postemergence section. Do not use on sands and loamy sand. 
Preplant Incorporated (NM. OK, and TX Only): Immediately before planting, at planting, or after 
planting, but before crop or weed emergence, apply Metolachlor 8E to the soil and incorporate into the 
top inch. Use a rolling cultivator or similar implement to uniformly incorporate not more than 1 inch 
deep. If furrow irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected, use a 
preplant incorporated application. Where furrow irrigation is used, wet the top of the bed for best results. 
If the crop is to be planted on beds, apply and incorporate after bed formation. Plant cotton below the 
zone of incorporation; i.e., at least I inch on fine soils and 1.5 inches on coarse and medium soils. If 
incorporated prior to planting, use a planter that will result in a minimum of soil disturbance. 
22

Note: For best control of yellow nutsedge and suppression of seedling jobnsongrass, apply Metolachlor 
BE preplant incorporated at the maximum rate for the soil texture, whether applied alone or mixed with 
Caparol® 4L. 
Preemergence: Prior to crop or weed emergence, apply to the soil surface at or after planting. 
Postemergence: Apply Metolachlor BE as a broadcast over-the-top application or directed to the soil 
surface, according to the rate and cotton height limitations listed by state. Metolachlor BE will not control 
emerged weeds therefore; application before weeds emerge or after clean cultivation to remove existing 
weeds is necessary. Metolachlor BE postemergence may be applied over any previous registered 
herbicide treatment. In sprinkler-irrigated areas, sprinkler irrigate after application with V, - I inch of 
water (1/2 inch on coarse textured soils to I inch on fine textured soils) to incorporate Metolachlor BE. In 
furrow-irrigated areas, apply Metolachlor SE, incorporate with a rolling cultivator or similar implement 
that provides uniform shallow incorporation (2 inches or less), and then irrigate. In non-irrigated areas, if 
at least V, inch of rainfall does not occur within 10 days following application, cultivate with a rolling 
cultivator or similar implement that provides uniform shallow incorporate of Me to lac hI or SE. 
VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, and AL: Apply Metolachlor SE at 1.0-1.33 pts.! A when cotton is 3-12 inches tall. 
TN, AR, MS, MO, and LA: Apply Metolachlor SE at 0.5-1.33 pts.lA when cotton is 3-12 inches tall. 
TX, OK, NM, AZ, CA, and Clay SoUs in AR: Apply Metolachlor BE at 1.0-1.33 pts.lA when cotton is 
3-12 inches tall, but before August I. 
Multiple AppUcations: Multiple applications of Metolachlor SE are effective when used as part of a 
weed control program where weed pressure is heavy, difficult to control species are expected, or 
reinfestation may occur. Apply as a preplant incorporated or preemergence treatment and follow with an 
application posternergence to cotton before weeds emerge or after clean cultivation to remove existing 
weeds, since Metolachlor SE will not control emerged weeds. Cotton should be at least 3 inches tall at 
the postemergence timing. Apply Metolachlor SE postemergence over a previous preplant or 
preemergence Metolachlor BE application as shown in the following table:

To incorporate Metolachlor SE in sprinkler-irrigated areas, sprinkler irrigate after application with V,-I 
inch of water (l/2 inch on coarse textured soils to I inch on fine textured soils). In furrow-irrigated areas, 
apply Metolachlor 8E, incorporate with a ro1!ing cultivator or similar implement that provides uniform 
sha1!ow incorporation (2 inches or less), and then irrigate. In non-irrigated areas, if at least V, inch of 
rainfall does not occur within 10 days following application, cultivate with a rolling cultivator or similar 
implement that provides uniform shallow incorporate of Metolachlor SE. 
Note: For best control of ye1!ow nutsedge and suppression of seedling jobnsongrass, apply Metolachlor 
8E preplant incorporated, preemergence, or postemergence to cotton and preemergence to weeds at the 
maximum rate for the soil texture, whether applied alone or in combinations. Do not apply more than a 
total of 2.0 pts.!A on coarse soils or 2.67 pts.lA of Metolachlor SE on medium and fine soils during a 
growing season. These treatments may be applied over previous registered herbicide treatments. 
Precautions: To avoid crop injury, (I) Do not apply Metolachlor SE on sand or loamy sand soils, or in 
areas where water is likely to "pond" over the bed; (2) To avoid concentration in the seed furrow, do not 
make broadcast applications of Metolachlor SE to cotton planted in furrows more than 2 inches deep. 
23 
3-r,/f1

Band applications may be made to cotton planted in furrows deeper than 2 inches, but band width should 
not exceed the width of the bottom of the furrow; (3) In furrow-planted cotton, to avoid concentration in 
the furrow and potential injury, do not apply Metolachlor SE postemergence until after first "knifing" or 
cultivation to level soil surface; (4) Do not apply over-the-top in fluid fertilizer or any other adjuvant, 
surfactant, oil, or other pesticide not recommended in the cotton section of this label, or injury may occur; 
(5) Do not apply on Taloka silt loam; (6) Do not use in Gaines County, TX. 
Note: Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock, or illegal residues may result. 
Metolachlor 8E Combinations 
1. Tank Mixture with Caparol® 4L 
Metolachlor SE tank mixtures with Caparol® 4L may be applied preplant incorporated or preemergence in 
water or fluid fertilizer. Mix only the amount of spray solution that will be applied in one operation when 
fluid fertilizer is used as the carrier for Metolachlor SE, either alone or in combination with Caparol® 4L. 
These mixtures should not be allowed to stand without agitation. Only water may be used as a carrier for 
postemergence directed application. 
In addition to the weeds controlled by Metolachlor SE alone, Metolachlor SE + Caparol® 4L, applied 
preplant incorporated or preemergence, also controls the following weeds: junglerice, wild oats, annual 
morningglory, groundcherry, hairy nightshade, lambsquarters, malva, mustard, prickly sida (teaweed), 
purslane, ragweed, and shallow-germinating seedlings of cocklebur and coffeeweed. As a postemergence 
directed application, Caparol® provides postemergence control and residual control of weeds on its label, 
while Metolachlor SE provides residual control of weed species on its label. Metolachlor SE does not 
control emerged weeds. 
Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence: Using the appropriate rate from Table 3, apply Metolachlor 
SE + Caparol® 4L, either preplant incorporated or preemergence. Cotton should be planted below the 
zone of incorporation; i.e., at least 1.0 inch on fine soils and 1.5 inches on coarse and medium soils. If 
incorporated before planting, use a planter that will result in a minimum of soil disturbance.

2. Tank Mixture with Cotoran® DF 
Metolachlor 8E may be applied in tank mixture with Cotoran® OF preemergence for control of those 
weeds controlled by Metolachlor 8E alone and those listed on the Cotoran® OF label. Spotted spurge, 
hyssop spurge, nodding spurge, and prostrate spurge will also be controlled by this combination. Apply 
to the soil surface at planting or after planting, but before crop or weed emergence, using the appropriate 
rates from Table 4. The tank mixture may be applied postemergence to cotton, but preemergence to 
weeds, or it may be applied postemergence to both cotton and broadleaf weeds for control of weeds on 
the Cotoran® label. Apply as a directed, semi-directed, or over-the-top spray. Metolachlor 8E will not 
control emerged weeds, but will provide preemergence control of species on its label. 
Mixing Instructions: Incompatibility between Metolachlor 8E and Cotoran® OF may occur. To 
overcome this condition, fill the spray tank Y. full with water or fluid fertilizer and start agitation, add the 
Cotoran® OF and allow it to become dispersed. Add X-77 at 0.5% volume/volume final spray (4 pts.llOO 
gals.), then add the Metolachlor 8E and finally the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient 
agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension. Do not use fluid fertilizer as a 
carrier for postemergence applications.

After HiIlingiLay-by: Apply 1.67 pts.! A of Metolachlor 8E after hilling/at lay-by to control Metolachlor 
8E sensitive species for the remainder of the growing season. This application will not control emerged 
weeds. This application may be applied over a previous Metolachlor 8E application, but do not exceed 
3.7 pts.! A of Metolachlor 8E in a single crop season. 
Precautions: (I) Do not use on muck or peat soils. If cool, wet soil conditions occur after application, 
Metolachlor 8E may delay maturity andlor reduce yield of Superior and other early maturing potato 
varieties. To avoid crop injury, (2) Do not use on sweet potatoes or yams; (3) Do not apply both as a 
preemergence and an incorporated treatment; and (4) Do not use in Kern County, CA. 
Note: Potatoes should not be harvested within 60 days after the at-planting to drag-off application, or 
within 40 days after a lay-by application, after treatment with Metolachlor 8E, or illegal residues may 
result. 
Metolachlor 8E Combinations 
1. Tank Mixture with Sencor® 
32

In addition to the weeds controlled by Metolachlor 8E alone, Metolachlor 8E applied in tank mix 
combination with, or sequentially with, any of the registered Sencor'" formulations, also controls the 
following broadleafweeds: cocklebur", hairy nightshade·, hemp sesbania, jimsonweed", lambsquarters, 
prickly sida, ragweed, smartweed, velvetleaf, Venice mallow, and wild mustard. 
·Partially controlled. 
Metolachlor 8E at 1.0-2.0 pts.! A plus the labeled Sencor'" use rate may be used preemergence through last 
hilling. For coarse soils, apply 1.0-1.33 pts.lA of Metolachlor 8E and 1.33-2.0 pts.!A on other soil 
textures. Within this rate range, use the lower rate on soils relatively coarse textured or low in organic 
matter and use the higher rate on soils relatively fine textured or high in organic matter. Avoid exposing 
untreated soils as effectiveness will be reduced. Metolachlor 8E does not control emerged weeds. Refer 
to the Sencor'" label for precautionary statements, restrictions, application information, and weeds 
controlled. 
Precautions: (1) To avoid such conditions as chlorosis, minor necrosis, or leaf distortion, postemergence 
application to potatoes should be made only as a directed or semi-directed spray. To avoid crop injury, 
(2) Do not use Metolachlor 8E + Sencor'" on potatoes in Kern County, CA; (3) Do not apply to sweet 
potatoes or yams and (4) Do not use this tank mixture on muck or peat soils. 
Notes: megal residues may result if potatoes treated with Metolachlor 8E in tank mixture with Sencor'" 
are harvested within 60 days after application. Potatoes may not be harvested within 40 days after a lay­
