ENGINEERING CONTROLS
|
||
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit in a manner that is consistent with the WPS for Agricultural
|
||
Pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4)].
|
||
Flaggers supporting aerial applications must use an enclosed cab that meets the definition on the Worker
|
||
Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(5)] for dermal protection. In addition,
|
||
such applicators and ftaggers must:
|
||
- wear the personal protective equipment required above for handlers using engineering controls,
|
||
either wear the type of respirator specified in the PPE above or use an enclosed cab that provides
|
||
inhalation protection equivalent to a dust mist respirator.
|
||
be provided and must have immediately available for use in an emergency when they must exit the
|
||
cab in the treated area: coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves, chemical-resistant footwear, chemical
|
||
resistant headgear if overhead exposure, and a dust mist filtering respirator if using an enclosed cab
|
||
that provides inhalation protection.
|
||
take off any PPE that was worn in the treated area before reentering the cab, and
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
store all such PPE in a chemical-resistant container, such as a plastic bag, to prevent contamination
|
||
of the inside of the cab.
|
||
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in
|
||

|
||
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/PPE 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, 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.
|
||
This pesticide contains atrazine, which has been shown to be toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply
|
||
when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Runoff and drift from treated areas may be
|
||
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory:
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT contains both atrazine and metolachlor as active ingredients.
|
||
Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may be used as
|
||
drinking water. Atrazine has been found in ground water. Users are advised not to apply atrazine 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.
|
||
Metolachlor 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.
|
||
Mixing/Loading Instructions:
|
||
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning into wells, spills, or improper
|
||
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates.
|
||
Check-valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment.
|
||
This product may not be mixed/loaded or used within 50 ft. of all wells, including abandoned wells,
|
||
drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this
|
||
product into or from pestiCide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 ft. of any well are
|
||
3
|
||
|
||
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 wash water, and rain
|
||
water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad,
|
||
which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An
|
||
unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest
|
||
pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size
|
||
to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity
|
||
of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad.
|
||
Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-specified
|
||
minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the
|
||
mixing/loading sites.
|
||
Additional State imposed requirements regarding well-head setbacks and operation area containment
|
||
must be observed.
|
||
Product must not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of 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 feet buffer or setback from
|
||
runoff entry points must be planted to crop, or seeded with grass or other suitable crop.
|
||
Tile-Terraced Fields Containing Standpipes
|
||
To ensure protection of surface water from runoff through standpipes with tile-outlets in terraced fields,
|
||
one of the following options may be used:
|
||
1. Do not apply this product within 66 feet of standpipes in tile-outletted terraced fields.
|
||
2. Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted terraced field and immediately incorporate it to a depth of
|
||
2-3 inches in the entire field.
|
||
3. Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted terraced field under a no-till practice only when a high
|
||
crop residue management practice is practiced. High crop residue management practice is described
|
||
as a crop management practice where little or no crop residue is removed from the field during and
|
||
after crop harvest.
|
||
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
|
||
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal, or cleaning of equipment.
|
||
Pesticide Storage: Groundwater contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent
|
||
liquid bulk storage sites with an impermeable material.
|
||
Pesticide Disposal: Open dumping is prohibited. Improper disposal of unused pesticide, spray mixture,
|
||

|
||
GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT is a herbicide recommended as preplant, preemergence, or postemergence
|
||
applications for the control of most annual grasses and broad leaf weeds in field and pop corn. This
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
product may be tank mixed with AAtrex'Ii 4L (Nine-Oe), Princepe 4L (Caliber 90e), Banvele or Albaugh
|
||
Dicamba DMA Salt, Loroxe or equivalent for weed control in conventional tillage field and pop corn.
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT can also be used before crop emergence for control and suppression of most
|
||
annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in grain or forage sorghum, provided the sorghum has been
|
||
properly treated by the seed company with Concep® or Screen®. METOLACHLOR AT may also be tank
|
||
mixed with other herbicides specified on this label for weed control in minimum till and no-till field and pop
|
||
corn, grain sorghum, or forage sorghum.
|
||
Following many years of continuous use of atrazine (one of the ingredients in METOLACHLOR AT), and
|
||
products chemically related to atrazine, biotypes of some of the weeds listed on this label which are
|
||
controlled by the atrazine component have been reported to develop resistance to this and chemically
|
||
related herbicides. Where this is known or suspected, and weeds controlled by this product are expected
|
||
to be present along with resistant biotypes, the use of METOLACHLOR AT is recommended in
|
||
combination or in sequence with registered herbicides which do not contain triazines. Consult your State
|
||
Agricultural Extension Service for specific recommendations.
|
||
Precautions: (1l If sorghum seed is not properly pretreated with Concep or Screen, METOLACHLOR AT
|
||
will severely injure the crop. (2l Injury may occur to sorghum following the use of METOLACHLOR AT
|
||
under abnormally high soil moisture conditions during early development of the crop
|
||
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.
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT may be applied early preplant, pre plant surface, preplant incorporated, or
|
||
preemergence on field and pop corn in water or fluid fertilizer alone or in tank mixture with AAtrexe or
|
||
Princep®. Apply postemergence treatments of METOLACHLOR AT to field and pop corn using water only
|
||
as the carrier. METOLACHLOR AT may be applied in tank-mix combination with Gramoxonee Extra,
|
||
Landmastere BW, Roundupe or Gly Star™ Original, with or without the above herbicides early preplant,
|
||
preplant surface or preemergence to field and pop corn.
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT alone may also be applied on sorghum early preplan!' preplant incorcorated,
|
||
preplant surface, or preemergence in water or in fluid fertilizer.
|
||
When applications of METOLACHLOR AT are made in fiuid fertilizer, apply by ground equipment only.
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT may be applied in water by aircraft.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
|
||
1. Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is registered.
|
||
2 Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
3. To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may
|
||
result.
|
||
4. Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to
|
||
non-target areas.
|
||
5. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
|
||
- 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.
|
||
Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
|
||
Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat nontarget crops
|
||
unless at least liz inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
|
||
6. Dry weather following preemergence application of METOLACHLOR AT or a tank mixture may
|
||
reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop in conventional tillage field or pop corn or sorghum.
|
||
7. Observe all precautions and limitations on the label of each product used in tank mixes.
|
||
8. When tank-mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine to corn, the total
|
||
pounds of atrazine applied (Ibs ai/A) must not exceed the speCific seasonal rate limits from
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
preemergence, or postemergence, or preemergence + postemergence applications as noted in the
|
||
use limitation table in the use directions.
|
||
9. If METOLACHLOR AT, Metolachlor BE, or other products containing metolachlor and/or atrazine
|
||
have been applied, do not exceed a cumulative total of 2.5 Ibs.lA of atrazine active ingredient or 3.75
|
||
Ibs.lA cumulative of metolachlor active ingredient. If no atrazine was applied prior to corn
|
||
emergence, apply a maximum of 2 Ibs.lA atrazine active ingredient.
|
||
10. Clean sprayer or other application device thoroughly before using. Dispose of the cleaning solution in
|
||
a responsible manner. 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.
|
||
11. Do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 60 days following application to field corn to avoid
|
||
possible illegal residues.
|
||
12. Postemergence applications to corn must be made before crop reaches 12 inches in height.
|
||
13. Do not use fertilizer or crop oil concentrate when mixing METOLACHLOR AT + Exceed",
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT + Exceed" + Accent" or METOLACHLOR AT + SpiritTM as injury to field com
|
||
may occur. The combination of METOLACHLOR AT with other postemergence weed control
|
||
products in corn is generally not recommended. These combinations may cause injury and/or weed
|
||
control concerns that would not exist when the products are used separately. A certain inherent risk
|
||
is involved with the various combinations of these products used postemergence in corn. Early
|
||
preplant, preplant incorporated, or preemergence control of weeds usually provides more timely weed
|
||
control resulting in higher yields than postemergence treatments.
|
||
14. Follow all label instructions, precautions, and rotational restrictions for individual products when
|
||
making applications to field corn with tank mixtures of METOLACHLOR AT + Exceed",
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT + Exceed" + Accent", or METOLACHLOR AT + Spirit™. If application is made
|
||
after June 1 0, crop injury may occur the following year if you rotate to crops other than corn. When
|
||
applied to corn over 4 inches tall, in-row weed control may be reduced because of lack of coverage.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Shake container well or thoroughly recirculate containers and bulk tanks before use. METOLACHLOR
|
||
AT is a liquid that may be mixed with water or fiuid fertilizer and applied as a spray. METOLACHLOR AT
|
||
may also be sprayed onto dry bulk granular fertilizer and applied with the granular fertilizer.
|
||
Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers
|
||
Impregnating Dry Fertilizers
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT may be used to impregnate or coat many dry bulk granular fertilizers for weed
|
||
control in field and pop corn or ConceD-treated sorghum. When applying METOLACHLOR AT with dry
|
||
bulk granular fertilizers, follow all directions for use and precautions on this label regarding rates per acre
|
||
of active ingredients, soil texture, application methods, and rotational crops.
|
||
All 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.
|
||
Impregnation of bulk fertilizer is restricted to commercial facilities. On-fanm fertilizer impregnation is
|
||
prohibited. No more than 500 tons of dry bulk fertilizer can be impregnated per day. No single facility
|
||
may impregnate fertilizer with this product for more than 30 days per calendar year.
|
||
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 AT 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" F.G. 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
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
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 METOLACHLOR AT to be used by the following formula:
|
||
qts. of METOLACHLOR qts. of METOLACHLOR AT
|
||
X AT =
|
||
Ibs. of fertilizer per acre per acre per ton of fertilizer
|
||
Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application: 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 AT with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a
|
||
rate of 2.0-2.5 pts.lgal. of METOLACHLOR AT. 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: (1) Use mixtures of METOLACHLOR AT 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 AT in a blender before application, a drier mixture
|
||
can be attained by substituting a drying agent for Aromatic 200. The use of Agsorb" F.G. 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, (1) Do not impregnate METOLACHLOR AT on
|
||
ammonium, potassium, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not
|
||
combine METOLACHLOR AT with a single superphosphate (0-20-0) or treble superphosphate (0-46-0).
|
||
(3) Do not use METOLACHLOR AT on straight limestone, since absorption will not be achieved.
|
||
Limestone containing fertilizer blends can be impregnated.
|
||
Application: Apply 200-700 Ibs. 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 or injury to
|
||
subsequent rotational crops. 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,
|
||
Le., reduced tillage Situations or in some conventional till situations, make applications approximately 30
|
||
days before planting to allow moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse
|
||
textured soils, make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting.
|
||
Precaution: (1) Make applications as early as possible to help avoid rotational crop injury since
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT impregnated onto dry bulk granular fertilizers can be expected to last longer in the
|
||
soil than when METOLACHLOR AT is applied as a spray in water or fluid fertilizer. (2) Do not use the
|
||
herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where planting beds are to be formed to avoid the potential for crop
|
||
injury.
|
||
Application in Water or Fluid Fertilizers
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT Alone: Fill the spray tank X-3/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the appropriate
|
||
amount of METOLACHLOR AT, then add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient
|
||
agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension.
|
||
Tank Mixtures: Fill the spray tank X-3/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the appropriate amount of
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT, then add AAtrex", Banvel" or Albau~h Dicamba DMA Salt, Linuron, or Princep";
|
||
next add Gramoxone" Extra, Landmaster" BW, Roundup or Gly Star™ Original, depending on the
|
||
desired tank-mix combination; and finall~ add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Only water may be
|
||
used with METOLACHLOR AT + Liberty" Herbicide when applied postemergence to corn designated as
|
||
8
|
||
|
||
tolerant to Liberty'" (glufosinate); and with Gly Star™ Plus or Roundup Ultra™ when applied
|
||
postemergence to corn designated as tolerant to Roundup (glyphosate). Provide sufficient agitation
|
||
during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension.
|
||
Compatibility Test
|
||
A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of METOLACHLOR AT with other
|
||
pesticides or fertilizers. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals/A. For other spray
|
||
volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients.
|
||
Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray. Because
|
||
liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with pesticide(s) or
|
||
fertilizer(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
|
||
will be applied.
|
||
2. To one of the jarse add Y. 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.l100 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 all 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 Y, to the emulsifiable concentrate or
|
||
flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the
|
||
mixture.
|
||
S. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of the pesticide wastes in accordance with the
|
||
directions in the Storage and Disposal section of this label.
|
||
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 clay
|
||
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 and where weed pressure, particularly from grasses, is expected to be
|
||
especially heavy.
|
||
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
Ground Application: Use only sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. Screens in
|
||
nozzles and in suction and in-line strainers shOUld be no finer than 50-mesh. Use a pump with capacity
|
||
9
|
||
|
||
to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in
|
||
suspension. Unless otherwise specified, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre.
|
||
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 x broadcast
|
||
rate per acre = amount needed
|
||
per acre of field
|
||
Low Carrier Application (For Broadcast Ground Application Only): Use sprayers, such as Ag-Chem
|
||
RoGatore, Hagie, John Deere Hi-Cycle™, John Deere 4700 Sprayer, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot
|
||
N
|
||
,
|
||
or Willmar Air Ridee, 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 35-40
|
||
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 15 mph.
|
||
Maintain a uniform travel speed while spraying. Thoroughly rinse sprayer with clean water immediately
|
||
following each use.
|
||
In order to reduce drift and increase application accuracy, low pressure nozzles are recommended. Use
|
||
care when USing automatic rate controlling devices to spray the material within the rated working pressure
|
||
and ftow 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 80' or 110' are recommended. Read and follow
|
||
the manufacturer's directions for optimum setup and performance of their nozzles or tips.
|
||
Aerial Application (METOLACHLOR AT alone):
|
||
Use aerial application only where broadcast applications are specified. Apply a minimum of 1.0 gallon of
|
||
water for each 1.0 gallon of METOLACHLOR AT applied per acre except when rates below 1.0 gal.lA are
|
||
specified, in these cases, use in sufficient water to equal 2.0 gals.lA of total spray. 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 10ft., 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 AT
|
||
by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 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 0/. 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.
|
||
10
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
• 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 droplets 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.
|
||
II
|
||
|
||
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. Temperature
|
||
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).

'Control of these weeds can be erratiC, especially under dry weather conditions. Control escaped weeds
|
||
with cultivation or application of an appropriate EPA-registered postemergence herbicide. On fine
|
||
textured soils, expect only partial control.
|
||
"Weed control may be improved by following these suggested procedures:
|
||
12
|
||
|
||
1. Apply up to the maximum single application rate in Table 1 for your given soil texture and rate
|
||
limitation based on your soil conservation practices.
|
||
2. Destroy germinating and emerged weeds by thoroughly tilling moist soil. If METOLACHLOR AT is to
|
||
be applied preplant incorporated, this tillage may be used to incorporate METOLACHLOR AT if
|
||
uniform 2-inch incorporation is achieved as recommended under the APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
section.
|
||
3. Plant crop into mOist soil immediately after tillage. If METOLACHLOR AT is to be used
|
||
preemergence, apply at planting or immediately after planting.
|
||
4. If sprinkler irrigation is available, irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply Y:i - 1 inch of water. On
|
||
coarse textured soils, use lower water volume (1/2 inch) and higher volume (1 inch) on fine textured
|
||
soils.
|
||
5. If rain does not occur within 2 days after planting and application and irrigation is not possible,
|
||
decreased weed control may be observed. Under these conditions, a uniform, shallow cultivation is
|
||
recommended as soon as weeds emerge.
|
||
APPLICATION TIMINGS'
|
||
"Where there are local/state requirements regarding atrazine use (including lower maximum rates andlor
|
||
greater setbacks) which are different from this label, the more restrictive/protective requirements must be
|
||
followed. Certain states may have established rate limitations within specific geographical areas.
|
||
Consult your state lead pesticide control agency for additional information. It is a violation to deviate from
|
||
state use regulations.
|
||
The following may be used to calculate the total metolachlor and atrazine active ingredient applied:
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT contains 3.23 Ibs. a.i. metolachlor per gal. (0.8075 lb. a.i.lqt) and 2.67 Ibs. a.i.

with any other metolachlor or atrazine-containing product, do not exceed the following metolachlor or
|
||
atrazine limits per year.
|
||
FOR ALL SOIL APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO CROP EMERGENCE
|
||
On Highly Erodible Land (as defined by SCS)
|
||
If conservation tillage is practiced, leaving at least 30% of the soil covered with plant residues at planting,

If soil coverage with plant residue is less than 30% at planting, a maximum of 1.6 Ibs. of atrazine/A may
|
||
be applied.
|
||
On Land Not Highly Erodible
|
||
Apply a maximum of 2.0 Ibs. of atrazine/A as a broadcast spray.
|
||
FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION TO FIELD AND POP CORN
|
||
If no atrazine was applied prior to field and pop corn emergence, apply a maximum of 2.0 Ibs. atrazine/A
|
||
may be applied postemergence. If a postemergence treatment is required following an earlier herbicide
|
||
application containing atrazine, the total atrazine applied may not exceed 2.5 Ibs. a.i. per acre per
|
||
calendar year.
|
||
EARLY PREPLANT:
|
||
For medium- and fine-textured soils, METOLACHLOR AT may be applied as a split treatment, by
|
||
applying 2/3 the recommended rate 30-45 days before planting, followed by the remaining 1/3 rate at
|
||
planting. See Table 1. If applying less than 30 days prior to planting, applications may be made as either
|
||
a split or a single application. For coarse soils, apply 1.6 qts.lA of METOLACHLOR AT not more than 2
|
||
13
|
||
|
||
weeks prior to planting. See Table 1. For all soils, METOLACHLOR AT must be tank mixed with a
|
||
contact herbicide (for example Gramoxone® Extra, Roundup® or Gly Star™ Original) if weeds are present
|
||
at the time of treatment. Observe the directions for use, precautions, and restrictions of all herbicides
|
||
used in tank mix1ures with METOLACHLOR AT. Determine the compatibility of each tank mix partner
|
||
with METOLACHLOR AT prior to tank mixing.
|
||
Following final seed bed preparation in the Blacklands and Gulf Coast areas of TX on medium and fine
|
||
textured soils, an early preplant application of METOLACHLOR AT at 1.2-1.5 qts.lA may be made 30-45
|
||
days before planting. Grass suppression of 2-3 weeks after planting can be expected as a result of this
|
||
application. Do not incorporate or disturb the soil before planting and avoid moving the soil during the
|
||
planting operation. A follow-up application (refer to Notes 1 and 2 below) of Metolachlor BE or
|
||
Metolachlor BE Plus may be needed in fields with a history of heavy grass pressure. Apply after planting,
|
||
but before field or pop corn and grass weeds emerge.
|
||
Notes: (1) If a follow-up application of Metolachlor BE or Metolachlor 8E Plus is needed, do not exceed
|
||
an accumulative total of 1.67 Ibs. a.i. of metolachlor per acre, including the preplant METOLACHLOR AT
|
||
application on medium textured soils or fine textured soils with less than 3% organic matter. Do not
|
||
exceed an accumulative total of 2.0 Ibs. a.i. of metolachlor on fine textured soils with greater than 3%
|
||
organic matter.
|
||
To determine the accumulative totallbs. of metolachlor per acre, use the following 2-step method:
|
||
A. Determine the Ibs. a.i. of metolachlor applied as METOLACHLOR AT (1.0 qt. = 0.8075 lb. a.i. of
|
||
metolachlor); then,
|
||
B. If Metolachlor 8E or Metolachlor 8E Plus is to be used, add the Ibs. a.i. to be applied in these
|
||
products to the Ibs. in Step A above to give the accumulative total.
|
||
(2) Avoid moving treated soil out of the row or moving untreated soil to the surface during planting as
|
||
reduced weed control will be observed.

contact herbicide as noted in the METOLACHLOR AT COMBINATIONS section of this label.
|
||
Rotational Crops
|
||
Do not rotate to food or feed crops other than those listed below:
|
||
(1) If treated crop is lost due to poor germination, hail, flood, insects, etc., field or pop corn may be
|
||
replanted immediately. Do not make a second broadcast application. If the original application
|
||
was banded and the second crop is planted in the untreated row middles, a second banded
|
||
treatment may be applied.
|
||
(2) Field or Pop Corn (only), sorghum, soybeans, cotton, or peanuts may be planted the next spring
|
||
following application provided the seed has been properly treated with Concep or Screen. Do not
|
||
graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock, or illegal residues may result.
|
||
(3) Injury may occur to soybeans planted the year following application on soils having a calcareous
|
||
surface layer.
|
||
15
|
||
|
||
(4) In eastern parts of the Dakotas, KS, western MN, and NE, do not rotate to soybeans for 18
|
||
months following the last application if the cumulative rate applied to corn was more than 2.0 Ibs.
|
||
a.i. of atrazine or equivalent band application rate, or soybean injury may occur.
|
||
(5) If applied after June 10, do not rotate with crops other than corn or sorghum the next year, or crop
|
||
injury may occur.
|
||
(6) In the High Plains and Intermountain areas of the West, where rainfall is sparse and erratic or
|
||
where irrigation is required, use only when corn is to follow corn, or a crop of untreated corn is to
|
||
precede other rotational crops.
|
||
(7) Do not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetables (including dry beans), spring-seeded small grains,
|
||
or small-seeded legumes the year following application or injury may occur.

If weeds are present at the time of treatment. apply in a tank mixture combination with a contact herbicide
|
||
(for example. Gramoxone Extra. Landmaster BW. or Roundup). Observe directions for use. precautions.
|
||
and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. Under drv conditions. irrigation after application is
|
||
recommended to move METOLACHLOR AT into the soil.
|
||
Note: To the extent possible. do not move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the surface
|
||
during planting. or weed control will be diminished. Do not use on coarse soilS. Do not use on medium
|
||
soils with less than 1.0% organic matter.
|
||
On medium- and fine-textured SOils following final seedbed preparation in the Blacklands and Gulf Coast
|
||
areas of TX. an early preplant application of METOLACHLOR AT at 1.1-1.4 gts.lA may be made 30-45
|
||
days before planting. Grass suppression of 2-3 weeks after planting can be expected as a result of this
|
||
application. Do not incorporate or disturb the soil before planting and avoid moving the soil during the
|
||
planting operation. A follow-up application of Dual MAGNUM, or Dual" MAGNUM may be needed in
|
||
fields with a history of heavy grass pressure. Apply after planting, but before sorghum and grass weeds
|
||
emerge.
|
||
Notes: (1) Do not use on soils with a pH greater than 8.0 if grain sorghum is to be planted. (2) If a follow
|
||
up application of Dual MAGNUM, or Dual II MAGNUM is needed, do not exceed a total of 1.4 Ibs. a.i. of
|
||
metolachlor per acre, including the early preplant METOLACHLOR AT application on medium-textured
|
||
soils. On fine-textured soils. do not exceed 1.6 Ibs. a.i. of metolachlor per acre.
|
||
To determine the totallbs. a.i. of metolachlor per acre. use the following 2-step method:
|
||
1. Determine the Ibs. a.i. of metolachlor applied as METOLACHLOR AT (1.0 gt. = 0.8075 lb. a.i. of
|
||
metolachlor): then.
|
||
2. If Dual MAGNUM or Dual II MAGNUM is used. add the Ibs. a.i. to be applied in these products to the
|
||
Ibs. in Step A above.

"DBP - Days before planting
|
||
Preplant Surface. Preplant Incorporated. or Preemergence (sorghum-Seed Treated with Concep or
|
||
Screen): Apply METOLACHLOR AT preplant surface. preplant incorporated. or preemergence, using the
|
||
appropriate rates from Table 6.
|
||
Preplant Surface: Apply uniformly to the soil surface within 14 days before planting.
|
||
Preplant Incorporated: Apply to the soil and incorporate into the top 2 inches of the soil within 14 days
|
||
before planting. using a finishing disk. finishing harrow. rolling cultivator. or similar implement capable of
|
||
providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Use the preplant incorporated method if furrow irrigation is used or
|
||
when a period of dry weather after application is expected. If crop is to be planted on beds. apply and
|
||
incorporate after bed formation.
|
||
Preemergence: Apply to the soil surface at planting (behind the planter) or after planting. but before
|
||
weeds or crop emerge.

Precautions: To avoid possible crop injury, (1) Do not apply METOLACHLOR AT on highly alkaline soils
|
||
(pH greater than 8.0) or on eroded areas where calcareous subsoils are exposed. (2) Do not apply
|
||
METOLACHLOR AT when sorghum is planted in deep furrows because heavy rains following application
|
||
can cause excessive concentrations of herbicide in the furrow. (3) Do not apply to sorghum grown under
|
||
dry mulch tillage. (4) Injury may occur if both METOLACHLOR AT applied early preplan!, prepiant
|
||
surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence and an at-planting systemic insecticide applied in-furrow
|
||
are used. (5) In addition, sorghum growing under stress caused by minor element deficiency may be
|
||
injured by METOLACHLOR AT.
|
||
Rotational Crops
|
||
Do not rotate to food or feed crops other than those listed below:
|
||
(1) If treated crop is lost due to poor germination, hail, flood, insects, etc., corn may be replanted
|
||
immediately or sorghum may be replanted immediately, provided the seed has been properly treated with
|
||
Concep or Screen. Do not make a second broadcast application. If the original application was banded
|
||
and the second crop is planted in the untreated row middles, a second banded treatment may be applied.
|
||
(2) Corn, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, or peanuts may be planted the spring following treatment. Do not
|
||

|
||
|
||
· '
|
||
graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock, or illegal residues may result. (3) Injurv may occur
|
||
to soybeans planted the year following application on soils having a calcareous surface layer, (4) In
|
||
eastern parts of the Dakotas, KS, western MN, and NE, do not rotate to soybeans for 18 months following
|
||
application if the rate applied to corn or sorghum was more than 2.0 Ibs. a.i. of atrazine or equivalent
|
||
band application rate. or soybean injurv may occur, (5) If applied after June 10. do not rotate with crops
|
||
other than corn or sorqhum the next year, or crop injury may occur, (6) In the Hiqh Plains and
|
||
Intermountain areas of the West. where rainfall is sparse and erratic or where irrigation is required, use
|
||
only when corn or sorghum is to follow corn or sorghum, or a crop of untreated corn or sorghum is to
|
||
precede other rotational crops. (7) Do not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetables (including dry beans),
|
||
spring-seeded small grains, or small-seeded legumes the year following application, or injury may occur.
