GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
This Product Must Be Incorporated 
Do not apply aerially or through irrigation equipment. 
Ground Applications 
Broadcast Application: Apply Command 6 EC alone or in tank mix 
combinations by ground equipment using a finished spray volume of 10 
to 40 gallons of waler per acre. NOTE: The use of an agrIculturally 
approved drift reducing additive Is required at finished spray vol­
umes 0110 fo 15 gallons per acre. Use nozzles suitable for broadcast 
boom appilcation of herbicides. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift out 
of the larget area than fme sprays. See "APPLICATION PRECAU­
TIONS" Section lor specifiC recommendations to reduce spray drift. For 
Command 6 EC lank ffiixtur€<> with wettable powder or dry flowable 
lormulations. nozzle screens and strainers should be no fmer than SO· 
mesh. 
Pre plant Incorporated Application: Appty Command 6 EC to the SOIl 
surface and umformly incorporate. Select equir;ment suited accordingly 
lor shallow or deeper irocorporation. 
ApplicaUon and Immediate incorporation to a depth of 1 to 3 Inches 
Is required unless the soli surface Is dry. On dry soils. incorporation 
10 a depth of 1 to 3 inches must be completed within 3 hours of Com· 
mand herbicide application Soit must be in good tilth to anow for thor· 
ough mixing of the soil. Application to overly moist or W'" soils wi:1 
increase Ihe potential for off·site movement of Command herbicide va­
pors and may result in poor soil incorporation and unsatisfactory weed 
control. 
ONE PASS INCORPORATION 
Suggeoled Imp~menl. 
For one pass incorporation use C or S shank ffekt cultivators equipped 
'ftith a leveling d'3vice such as a spike or coil Une harrow or rO:ring basket

at 7 inch or less intervals and staggered so thai no s~1 is left untumed. 
Equipment design including any drag attachments must be adequate to 
avoid soil ridging which may result in streaked or reduced weed control. 
The implement musl be ope~ated at 6 to 8 mph and set to cut 3 to 
4 inches deep to incorporale herbicide I to 2 inches. 
Combination equipment (Ihree or more tillage devices combined and 
used as a single tool) should be operated at a depth of 3 to 4 indtes 
and a minimum speed of 6 mph.

COMMAND DRIFT CONTROL SUPPLEMENT 
Non-target spray drift 01 CQmmand 6 EC herbicide should be aVOided 
to prevent whitening of deSirable vegetation. Drift is influenced by many 
factors which include wind speed, spray pressure, particle sizo, noule 
type, and boom heighl. Selection and proper use of spn.y equipment is 
cntical in minimizing spray drift. Table 4 suggests pressures, flow rates, 
and nozzle sizes for drift reduction using various nozzte types.
