DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
BL2 herbicide must be used only in accordance with the directions for use on this label, in published FMC instructions
(Supplemental Labels, Special Local Need Registrations, FIFRA Section 18 exemptions, FIFRA 2(ee) Bulletins), or as
otherwise permitted by FIFRA. Always read the entire label, including the Limitation of Warranty and Liability. PRODUCT INFORMATION
BL2 is a water dispersible granule that can be applied alone or in combination with other herbicides for selective control of
broadleaf weeds and grasses in fallow, field corn, potatoes, soybeans, spring and winter barley and winter wheat. Residual
applications of BL2 require rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to activate the herbicide. Degree of control and duration of effect
depend on: rate used, weed spectrum, growing conditions at and following time of treatment, soil pH, texture, organic
matter, moisture and precipitation. 
Best residual control is obtained if BL2 is applied to moist soil and followed by rainfall or irrigation (~1”) before weeds
germinate. Several small rainfalls of less than 1/4” each are not as beneficial as one large rainfall of 1/2-1”. On dry soil,
more moisture is required for activation (1-2”) before weed emergence. If moisture is insufficient to activate the herbicide,
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This
Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses,
and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and
emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about
personal protective equipment(PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this
product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
Coveralls
Waterproof gloves.
Shoes plus socks

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
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 part 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may
be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
Important: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified
above for "Applicators and Other Handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a
spill or equipment breakdown.
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 apply when weather conditions favor drift from areas treated. Do not contaminate water when disposing of
equipment washwaters or rinsate.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Metribuzin is a chemical which can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can contami-
nate groundwater which may be used as drinking water. Metribuzin has been found in groundwater as a result of agri-
cultural use. Users are advised not to apply metribuzin where the water table (groundwater) is close to the surface, and
where the soils are very permeable, i.e., well drained soils such as loamy sands. Your local agricultural agencies can pro-
vide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location of groundwater.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
USERS SHOULD: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and 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.Throughout the label removed the word "DuPont" from the name of the product, only highlighted here. 
d FMC i

a rotary hoeing or shallow cultivation should be made after emergence of the crop while weeds are small enough to be
controlled by mechanical means. If heavy rains occur within 3 weeks of planting, crop injury may result.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
BL2 rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds. Following application of preplant, preplant incorporation or
preemergence treatment, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge, but growth then ceases and leaves become yellow
and/or brown 3-5 days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species while others
will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive. Following a burndown application, growth of susceptible weeds ceases
followed by tissue yellowing and browning and death of the growing point. 
IMPORTANT USE RESTRICTIONS
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
- Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots may extend,
or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.
- Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
Do not apply BL2 through any type of irrigation system other than sprinkler irrigation.
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.
Do not apply when weather conditions favor spray drift and/or when sensitive or cool season crops, including cole crops,
onions, peas, or strawberries are present in adjacent fields or in areas where wheat is growing in coarse textured soils.
Do not use low-pressure, high-volume hand wand equipment.
Do not apply aerially when BL2 is tank-mixed with alachlor.
Do not apply BL2 by air in the state of New York.
For aerial applications, do not apply during a temperature inversion, when wind speed is less than 2 mph or above 10 mph,
or when conditions favor poor coverage and/or off-target spray drift.
IMPORTANT USE PRECAUTIONS
Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
- Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target plants or areas.
- Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may
damage crops other than those listed on this label. 
WEED RESISTANCE
BL2 which contains the active ingredient metribuzin is a Group 5 herbicide based on the mode of action classification
system of the Weed Science Society of America.
When herbicides with mode of action classifications that affect the same biological sites of action are used repeatedly over
several years to control the same weed species in the same treatment area, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may
survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that area. Adequate control of these
resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem
area using a product affecting a different biological site of action.
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant
weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a
combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of
action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread
and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state
agricultural extension service representative to determine appropriate actions for treating specific resistant weed biotypes in
your area.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural,
and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or
other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations
reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or
Refer to crop section for specific crop related restrictions and precautions.

other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in
your area.
USE INFORMATION
MIXING: When using BL2, make sure the sprayer is completely clean, free of rust or corrosion which occurs 
from winter storage. Examine strainers and screens to be sure the sprayer is clean from previously used pesticides.
Keep any tank mix containing BL2 agitated and spray out immediately. Do not allow tank-mixes to stand for prolonged
periods of time.
The proper mixing procedures for BL2 alone or in tank-mix combinations with other herbicides is:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. Add specified rate of BL2 while recirculating and with agitator running.
3. Follow the triple rinse procedure described under “STORAGE AND DISPOSAL” to ensure that all product is removed
from the container.
4. Mix thoroughly and add clean water to fill spray tank to desired level.
5. Add the other herbicide to tank last and agitate thoroughly.
6. Continue agitation during application and until sprayer tank is empty.
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of BL2 and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid
and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe
the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers, or other
precipitates, it is not compatible.

prohibition against such mixing. Refer to crop specific information section of this label for additional information.
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use.
Users must follow the most restrictive directions and precautionary language of the products in the mixture (for example,
first aid from one product, spray drift management from another).
SOIL TEXTURE: As used on this label, “Coarse soils” are loamy sand or sandy loam soils. “Medium soils” are loam, silt
loam, silt, sandy clay, or sandy clay loam. “Fine soils” are silty clay, silty clay loam, clay, or clay loam. Silty clay loam soils
are transitional soils and may be classified as medium textured soils in some regions of the U.S. 
CHEMIGATION:
BL2 may be used for application through sprinkler irrigation equipment to potatoes or soybeans as directed on this label.
Refer to the crop sections of this label for specified rates, weeds controlled or suppressed, restrictions, and special
precautions.
Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, or solid set) irrigation systems. Do not apply
this product through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated
water.
Calibration: (Center Pivot and Self-Propelled Lateral Move Systems): Sprinkler irrigation systems must be accurately
calibrated for application of BL2. Greater accuracy in calibration (and distribution) will be achieved by injecting a larger
volume of a more dilute mixture of product and water per hour. Follow the steps below to calibrate center pivot and lateral
move systems:
1. Determine number of minutes required to make one complete revolution while applying 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water per acre.
2. With the system at operating pressure determine the exact number of minutes required to inject one gallon of water.
3. Divide the time required for one revolution (step 1) by the time required to inject one gallon (step 2). This gives total
gallons of product-water mixture to be added to nurse tank.
4

4. Add required amount of water to nurse tank and start the agitation system. Then add sufficient BL2 at the specified rate
(See BROADCAST APPLICATIONS) to the nurse tank.
If you have questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service Specialists, equipment manufacturers or other
experts.
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system
unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on
the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the
intake side of the injection pump connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the sup-
ply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the
water pump motor stops.
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.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively
designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system
interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Maintain continuous agitation in the injection nurse tanks during the herbicide application, sufficient to keep herbicide in
suspension.
Apply specified dosage in 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water (1/4 to 1/2 inch of water on sandy soils) per acre as a continuous
injection in center pivot and lateral move systems or in the last 15 to 30 minutes of set in permanent solid set sprinkler
systems. Application of more than the quantity of irrigation water recommended on this label may result in decreased
product performance by removing the chemical from the zone of effectiveness. Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not
overlap sufficiently unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively crop
injury may result. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off
irrigation water. To ensure that lines are flushed and free of remaining pesticide, an indicator dye may be injected into the
lines to mark the end of the application period.
Use a minimum of 1 part water to 1 part herbicide for injection. The use of a larger volume of water will ensure greater
accuracy and more uniform distribution.
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION
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 the 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 3/4 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.
3. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
4. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Spray Drift Management.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is
responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets which are consistent with pest control
5

objectives. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an
applicator balances drift control and coverage. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if
applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
A droplet size classification system describes the range of droplet sizes produced by spray nozzles. The American Society
of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) provide a Standard that describes droplet size spectrum categories
defined by a number of reference nozzles (fine, coarse, etc.). Droplet spectra resulting from the use of a specific nozzle
may also be described in terms of volume mean diameter (VMD). Coarser droplet size spectra have larger VMD’s and
lower drift potential.
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Application
• Nozzle Type - Select a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray
angles produce larger droplets. The use of low-drift nozzles will reduce drift potential.
• Pressure - The lowest spray pressures recommended for the nozzle produce the largest droplets. Higher pressure reduces
droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, using a higher-capacity
nozzle instead of increasing pressure results in the coarsest droplet spectrum.
• Flow Rate/Orifice Size - Using the highest flow rate nozzles (largest orifice) that are consistent with pest control
objectives reduces the potential for spray drift. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce coarser droplet spectra.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream, or other low drift nozzles produce the coarsest droplet spectra.
• Number of Nozzles - Using the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage
will produce a coarser droplet spectrum.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles in a manner that minimizes the effects of air shear will produce the coarsest
droplet spectra. For some nozzles such as solid stream, pointing the nozzles straight back parallel to the airstream will
produce a coarser droplet spectrum than other orientations.
• Pressure – Selecting the pressure that produces the coarsest droplet spectrum for a particular nozzle and airspeed
reduces spray drift potential. For some nozzle types such as solid streams, lower pressures can produce finer droplet
spectra and increase drift potential.
BOOM LENGTH (AIRCRAFT), AND APPLICATION HEIGHT
Boom Length (aircraft) - Using shorter booms decreases drift potential. Boom lengths are expressed as a percentage of an
aircraft’s wingspan or a helicopter’s rotor blade diameter. Shorter boom length and proper positioning can minimize drift
caused by wingtip or rotor vortices.
Application Height (aircraft) - Applications made at the lowest height that are consistent with pest control objectives and
the safe operation of the aircraft will reduce the potential for spray drift.
Application Height (ground) - Applications made at the lowest height consistent with pest control objectives, and that
allow the applicator to keep the boom level with the application site and minimize bounce, will reduce the exposure of
spray droplets to evaporation and wind, and reduce spray drift potential.
WIND
Drift potential is lowest when applications are made in light to gentle sustained winds (2-10 mph), which are blowing in a
constant direction. Many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind
speed. A VOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
Local terrain can also influence wind patterns. Every applicator is expected to be familiar with local wind patterns and how
they affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of
evaporation.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
which may cause small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.
Surface temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature 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. Mist or
fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas.
Inversions may also be identified by producing smoke and observing its behavior. Smoke that remains close to the ground,
or moves laterally in a concentrated cloud under low wind conditions indicates a surface inversion. Smoke that moves
upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
6

SENSITIVE AREAS
Making applications when there is a sustained wind moving away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas,
bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is an effective way to minimize the
effect of spray drift.
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read and
carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an additive that increases
viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray solution.
Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology.
APPLICATION OF BL2 WITH HERBICIDE SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Use a standard low pressure (20 to 40 psi.) herbicide boom sprayer equipped with suitable nozzles and screens no finer
than 50-mesh in nozzle and in-line strainers. Agitate thoroughly before and during application with bypass agitation. 
GROUND APPLICATION: Apply the proper rate of BL2 in a minimum of 10 to 40 gallons of spray mixture per acre
broadcast.
Banded Application: Use proportionally less BL2 per acre in a band versus a broadcast application. For band application
use 1/4 to 1 gallon of spray mix per inch of band width regardless of row spacing.
AERIAL APPLICATION: Where permitted, apply specified rate in a minimum of 2 to 10 gallons of spray mixture per
acre. Do not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph.
Aerial application is not permitted in the State of New York.
Do not apply aerially when BL2 is tank-mixed with alachlor.
For All Applications of BL2: Sprayer must be accurately calibrated before applying BL2. Check sprayer during
application to be sure it is working properly and delivering a uniform spray pattern. As the volume of spray mixture
decreases per acre, the importance of accurate calibration and uniform application increases. Avoid other application,
misapplication, and boom and spray swath overlapping that will increase spray dosage. (Crop injury may occur as a result).
Avoid spray skips and gaps which allow weeds to grow in untreated soil. Do not apply when weather conditions favor
spray drift and/or when sensitive or cool season crops, including cole crops, onions, peas, or strawberries are present in
adjacent fields or in areas where wheat is growing in coarse textured soils.
SPRAYER CLEANUP: Spray equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to remove remaining traces of herbicide that might
injure other crops to be sprayed. Drain any remaining spray solution of BL2 from the spray tank and dispose of according
to label disposal instructions. Rinse the spray tank and refill with water, adding a heavy-duty detergent at the rate of one
cup per 20 gallons of water. Recycle this mixture through the equipment for 5 minutes and spray out. Repeat this procedure
twice. Fill the spray tank with clean water, recycle for 5 minutes, and spray out. Clean pump and nozzle screens thoroughly.
Wash away spray mixture from the outside of spray tank, nozzles or spray rig. All rinse water must be disposed of in
compliance with local, state, and Federal guidelines.
APPLICATION OF BL2 IN FLUID FERTILIZERS
BL2 may be applied in fluid fertilizer solutions to soybeans by following the appropriate mixing procedures and
compatibility check. When using tank-mix combinations, be sure all components are compatible. Compatibility checks of
BL2 and tank-mix combinations which include BL2 should be made for each batch of fluid fertilizer because of the
variability of these fertilizers.
Compatibility Check:
1. Pre-mix 2 teaspoonfuls of BL2 with 8 teaspoons of water (1:4 ratio) in a quart jar by adding the water first and follow
with BL2. Mix thoroughly, if a second herbicide is to be used, double the amount of water (1:8 ratio) and add the second
herbicide after mixing BL2 first.
2. Then pour 1 pint of fluid fertilizer into the quart jar and shake well.
3. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
ONLY USE THIS COMPATIBILITY CHECK WHEN MIXING WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS.
Interpretation of Results: If the solution in the jar appears to be uniform, without signs of agglomeration, or without a
separation of an oily film on top of the fertilizer, the mixture may be used. If not, repeat the compatibility check using twice
the amount of water or add a compatibility agent to the water. If separation occurs, but the mixture can be resuspended by
shaking, then application is possible with good agitation in the spray tank.
Tank-mixing Guidelines:
1. Add the required amount of water and compatibility agent (if required) to the tank. Start agitation while adding BL2 and
follow by adding the fluid fertilizer and agitate.
7

2. If a second herbicide is to be used, follow as above in 1, but use twice the amount of water. Start agitation and add 
BL2 and follow by adding the second herbicide, and then continue filling the tank with fluid fertilizer.
3. Maintain continuous agitation to ensure uniform spray mixture until the tank is emptied.
COMMERCIAL IMPREGNATION AND APPLICATION OF BL2 ON DRY BULK FERTILIZER
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with BL2 for application to soybeans. All directions, cautions, and special
precautions on this label must be followed along with state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer blending, impregnating
and labeling.
Impregnation: To impregnate, use a system consisting of a belt, conveyor, or closed drum which is used for dry bulk
fertilizer blending. Any commonly used fertilizer can be impregnated with BL2 except ammonium nitrate, or fertilizers
containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate. Do not use on powder limestone.
Apply using a minimum of 200 lbs. dry bulk fertilizer per acre and up to a maximum of 450 lbs. per acre. To impregnate or
coat dry bulk fertilizer, mix BL2 with sufficient water to form a sprayable slurry. The delivery nozzles must be directed to
deliver a fine spray toward the fertilizer for thorough coverage while avoiding spray contact with mixing equipment.
Uniform impregnation of BL2 to dry bulk fertilizer will vary and if the absorptivity is not adequate, an absorptive powder
may be added to produce a dry, free-flowing mixture. Micro-Cel E (Johns-Manville Product Corporation) is the
recommended absorbent powder. When another herbicide is used with BL2, mix and impregnate immediately. Apply
immediately after impregnation unless experience has shown that impregnated fertilizer can be stored without becoming
lumpy and difficult to spread.
Rates: Select the specified rate of BL2 per acre from the appropriate section of this label and refer to the formula below to
determine the amount of BL2 which is to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fertilizer based on the amount of fertilizer
which will be distributed on one acre.
Lbs. BL2 
X 2000 Lbs. Fertilizer = Lbs. BL2
Acre Ton of Fertilizer Acre
APPLICATION: Uniform application is essential for satisfactory weed control. Accurate calibration of fertilizer
application equipment is essential for uniform distribution to the soil surface. The recommended method of application is
to apply 1/2 the specified rate and overlap 50 percent or to double apply by splitting the middles to obtain the best
distribution pattern.
If fertilizer materials are excessively dusty, use diesel oil or other suitable additive to reduce dust prior to impregnation as
dusty fertilizer will result in poor distribution during application. Crop injury and/or poor weed control may occur where
the impregnated fertilizer is not uniformly applied.
INCORPORATION AND COMBINATION USES: 
When BL2 is to be used in combination with another herbicide, follow directions on this label for combinations, rates,
crops, incorporation, and special precautions.
SPRING AND WINTER BARLEY AND WINTER WHEAT
BL2 herbicide may be used for control or suppression of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied postemergence
to spring and winter barley or winter wheat. BL2 may be used alone or in a tank-mixture in the following states: AR, DE,
GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY , LA, MD, MS, MO, MT, NV , NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, V A and WA. 
Mixing: See the “Use Information” section of this label for specific mixing procedures. When tank-mixing, carefully
follow the instructions on this label. Refer to the other product labels registered for use in barley and winter wheat for
additional use directions, rates, weeds controlled and restrictions.
Application: BL2 may be applied by aerial or ground application equipment. Use a minimum spray volume of 2 gpa by
air and 10 gpa by ground. Uniform spray coverage is necessary to obtain optimum weed control and to minimize potential
for crop injury. Apply BL2 when the crop is healthy and actively growing. BL2 may be applied more than once per crop
season. Allow a minimum of 21 days between applications if wheat is actively growing or allow 45 days between
applications if wheat is growing in adverse conditions, has entered dormancy or is stressed due to frost damage, disease,
drought or excessive moisture. On irrigated barley and wheat, apply 0.5 inch or less of water for the first irrigation, the
maximum amount for each additional irrigation should not exceed 1 inch. Allow a minimum of 14 days between the first
irrigation and subsequent irrigations.
Performance Factors: Weed control may not be observed for 2 to 4 weeks under normal growth conditions and for 4 to 6
weeks under very dry conditions. Moisture (at least 1/2 inch) is required within 2 to 3 weeks after application to move BL2
into the weed root zone. Lack of adequate moisture after application may result in poor or erratic weed control. Control or
suppression of listed weeds is dependent on weed size at time of application. Control or suppression may be reduced if
broadleaf weeds are taller than 1 inch or grasses have more than 2 leaves.
8

Tank-mixtures: BL2 may be tank-mixed with full or reduced rates of other herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide
products registered for use in the specified crops. Consult tank mix partner labeling for rate and crop rotation restrictions.
Read and follow all manufacturer's label instructions for the companion herbicide(s). Do not use a tank mix partner product
if its label conflicts with the BL2 label. Ensure the tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application,
adjuvants, and use restrictions as BL2, as well as other products used in the tank mixture. Read and follow all applicable
use directions, precautions, and limitations specified on the respective product labels, technical bulletins, and fact sheets.
Weed control and crop safety resulting from the use of tank mixtures not specifically noted on this label, or in separately
published FMC information, are the responsibility of the user. For tank-mix combinations, follow the most restrictive
label.
IMPORTANT USE RESTRICTIONS - BARLEY AND WHEAT:
Do not exceed rates specified on this label. 
Do not apply BL2 through any type of irrigation equipment. 
Do not use on spring wheat and Durum wheat varieties.

Do not apply BL2 in the spring where BL2 was applied in the fall.
Do not use on soils containing less than 0.75% organic matter. 
Do not apply more than a total of 10.66 ounces BL2 (8 ounces active ingredient) per acre per year 
Do not graze wheat within 14 days of BL2 application or harvest grain within 21 days after last application. 
Do not graze or harvest barley before crop maturity. 
Do not graze fallow treated fields.
IMPORTANT USE PRECAUTIONS - BARLEY AND WHEAT: 
Crop injury may occur if BL2 is applied:
1. When the crop is under stress such as winter kill, frost damage, disease, drought or excessive moisture, severe grazing, or
when these conditions follow the application.
2. In combination with fluid fertilizer especially with the addition of surfactant.
3. Prior to the growth stage specified on this label.
4. To soils high in lime or sodium, a pH greater than 7.7, calcareous, gravelly, thinly covered or exposed subsoil areas.
5. To fields where seeds have been planted less than 1 inch deep.
6. To a non-winter hardy wheat or barley variety.
7. To a sensitive wheat or barley variety.
8. To frozen soil or crop still in winter dormancy.
WHEAT AND BARLEY V ARIETAL TOLERANCE
Wheat and barley varieties vary in their tolerance to BL2. To avoid possible crop injury, contact the seed supplier or
herbicide expert for a variety recommendation prior to treatment or treat a small strip of the unlisted variety with the
labeled BL2 rate to ascertain crop tolerance before treating an entire field.
Spring and Winter Barley and Winter Wheat Rotations Following Potatoes Treated with BL2: If planting a sensitive
variety, following potatoes treated with metribuzin containing products, refer to the potato section of the BL2 label for
special cultural practices to follow.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:
BL2 alone or in a tank-mix with labeled broadleaf herbicides may be applied by aerial or ground spray equipment as a
broadcast postemergence spray.

WEEDS CONTROLLED
Used at specified rates, BL2 will control many annual broadleaf weeds. Control is best when applied to young, actively
growing weeds. Weeds controlled by BL2 include:
*Control is best when size is <= 3 inches tall.
WEEDS SUPPRESSED
BL2 control of the following weeds varies from poor to excellent depending on time of application, stage of growth at
application, temperatures and soil moisture conditions following treatment. For maximum effect on these weeds, apply the
highest labeled rate at the earliest growth stage timing for each particular soil type and organic matter. Suppression is a
reduction in weed size and growth as compared to a non-treated area in the same field.

FOR WEED CONTROL IN A WHEAT/FALLOW/WHEAT ROTATION (ID, OR, UT, and WA only)
BL2 may be applied to provide weed control during the fallow period after wheat harvest or in the spring before winter
wheat is planted. Winter wheat can be seeded 4 months (120 days) after spring application. Mechanical tillage or the
application of a contact herbicide may be required to control weeds germinating prior to seeding of winter wheat. Best
results will be obtained where straw and chaff are evenly distributed across the field.
For specific application information see the “Use Information” section in the front of this label. Where weed growth is
present at application time, BL2 should be applied with paraquat, glyphosate or other contact herbicides. Refer to the other
product labels registered for additional directions, rates, and weed species controlled.
After Harvest Application (Fall Fallow): BL2 may be applied to wheat stubble after harvest in the fall. Apply 2/3 to 5/6
lb per acre broadcast before weeds emerge. Use higher rate for longer weed control or for weeds designated as requiring
the higher rate for control. Rainfall (1/2 inch or more) is necessary for herbicide activation.
Do not plant crops in treated areas for at least 10 months following fall applications. Do not rotate to any crop not listed on
this label for 18 months following application.
BL2 may be applied at 2/3 to 5/6 lb per acre as directed above for a fall application. If other vegetation is present at the
time of application use a contact herbicide.
Spring Application (Summer Fallow): BL2 may be applied to wheat stubble in the spring. Apply 1/2 to 2/3 lb per acre
broadcast before weeds emerge in the spring. Use higher rate for longer weed control or weeds designated as requiring
higher rate for control. Rainfall (1/2 inch or more) is necessary for herbicide activation.

Where BL2 was applied in the fall, do not apply BL2 in the spring.
AFTER HARVEST APPLICATION (Fall Fallow): 
BL2 may be applied to the stubble after harvest in the fall. Apply 5/6 to 1 lb per acre broadcast before weeds emerge. Use
the higher rate for longer weed control or for weeds designated as requiring the higher rate for control. Rainfall (1/2 inch or
more) is necessary for herbicide activation.
SPRING APPLICATION (Summer Fallow): 
BL2 may be applied to the stubble in the spring. Apply 1/2 to 2/3 lb per acre broadcast before weeds emerge in the spring.
Use the higher rate for longer weed control or weeds designated as requiring the higher rate for control. Rainfall (1/2 inch
or more) is necessary for herbicide activation. Wheat or barley can be seeded 120 days after spring application.
BURNDOWN WEED CONTROL – FIELD CORN AND SOYBEANS
BL2 can be used as part of a herbicide program for burndown of existing vegetation prior to crop emergence in
conservation tillage systems. BL2 may be tank-mixed with 2,4-D (LVE), dicamba, paraquat, glufosinate, glyphosate or
saflufenacil for control of emerged weeds prior to field corn or soybean emergence. BL2 tank-mixes with 2,4-DB or
DuPont™ ASSURE® II may also be used in soybeans for control of emerged weeds prior to crop emergence. BL2
burndown tank-mixes can be applied before planting or prior to crop emergence in the following areas:
Field Corn: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and
Wisconsin.
Soybeans: All areas for all products

IMPORTANT USE PRECAUTIONS – SOYBEANS:
Crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils under cool, wet conditions.
If a soybean variety is suspected of being sensitive to metribuzin, check with the soybean seed company before treating a
field of that soybean variety with BL2.
Excessive rainfall received after application but before soybeans germinate may cause soybean stunting. Injury is more
prevalent under poor drainage or compacted conditions or when soil is saturated for long periods of time.
Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt concentration, or
drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase possibility of crop injury.
Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site. Make scheduled checks of spray equipment. 
Tank mixtures of BL2 plus organophosphate insecticides applied preplant or preemergence may result in stunting and/or
chlorosis.
Injury to soybeans may occur if BL2 is used on soils having a calcareous surface layer or pH greater than 7.5.
Grazing and Feeding Treated Vines:Treated vines may be grazed or fed to livestock 40 days after application when BL2
is applied alone or with “Treflan”, Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor, “Prowl”, or “Lasso”.
BL2 Pre-emergence Application: The following rates of BL2 may be applied pre-emergence to soybeans through center
pivot or lateral move sprinkler irrigation systems that apply water in a uniform manner. Refer to “Chemigation” section of
this label for directions.

SPLIT-SHOT APPLICATION
A preplant incorporated application of BL2 tank-mixed with either “Treflan”, “Lasso”, Metolachlor, S-
Metolachlor, “Prowl” or “Sonalan” and followed by a pre-emergence surface application of BL2 alone after planting but
prior to soybean emergence, will control more broadleaf and grass weeds in soybeans than when either herbicide is used
alone.
Refer to the “Treflan”, “Lasso”, Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor, “Prowl” or “Sonalan” labels, and to appropriate sections of
this label for directions on soil preparation, herbicide application, incorporation techniques, herbicide rates, weed species
controlled, and restrictions for using tank-mix combinations of BL2. Carefully observe the “Important Use Restrctions and
Precautions” sections concerning the use of BL2 in tank-mix combinations on soybeans.
When a Split-Shot application of BL2 with “Prowl”, “Treflan”, or “Sonalan” is used, the preplant incorporated tank-mix
may be applied up to 21 days prior to planting soybeans; with Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor or “Lasso”, the preplant
incorporated tank-mix may be applied up to 14 days prior to planting.
On medium and fine textured soils with greater than 2% organic matter, a rate range is given for the BL2 pre-
emergence overlay application. Use the higher rate (a) in fields with a history of severe broadleaf weed pressure, (b)
when the time between preplant incorporated tank-mix and pre-emergence overlay applications approaches the maximum
stated above, and/or (c) when the organic matter content of the soil is at the upper end of the indicated range.

EXTENDED SPLIT-SHOT APPLICATION
(Includes No-Till, Reduced-Till, Ridge-Till, Strip-Till, Mulch-Till)
An early preplant (surface-applied or shallow incorporated) application of BL2 tank-mixed with either 
Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor or “Lasso”, followed by a pre-emergence surface application of BL2 tank-mixed with
Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor or “Lasso” after planting but prior to soybean emergence, will control more broadleaf and
grass weeds in soybeans than either herbicide used alone.
An Extended SPLIT-SHOT application will decrease the need for tillage and/or contact herbicides for the control of
existing vegetation prior to planting, while providing residual control of weeds after planting.
When an Extended SPLIT-SHOT application of BL2 with Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor or “Lasso” is used, the preplant
tank-mix combination may be applied 15 to 30 days prior to planting soybeans. Follow directions on the label
accompanying the product for SPLIT-SHOT applications from 0 to 14 days before planting.
Where a rate range is given, use the higher rates (a) in fields with a history of severe weed pressure, (b) when the time
between early preplant tank-mix and pre-emergence overlay applications approaches the maximum 30 days, (c) when the
organic matter content of the soil is at the upper end of the indicated range, (d) when heavy crop residues are present on the
soil surface, and/or (e) when the early preplant tank-mix application is shallow incorporated.
When weeds exceed 1 to 1-1/2 inches in height or diameter at application, use a contact herbicide.
Refer to the Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor or “Lasso” label, and to appropriate sections of this label for additional
information on soil preparation, herbicide application, weeds controlled, precautions, restrictions, limitations and sprayer
clean-up.
BL2 – Overlay Application: BL2 may be applied as a pre-emergence overlay application following a preplant
incorporated application of S-metolachlor, “Prowl”, “Sonalan”, or “Treflan”. Consult product labels for specific directions
on use, recommendations, restrictions and any additional weeds not specified on this label.
Preplant Incorporated Application: Incorporate the tank-mixture alachlor, DuPont™ CANOPY®, S-metolachlor,
“Prowl”, “Sonalan”, or “Treflan” into the top 2 inches of soil before planting using a disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, or
similar implement.
Preemergence Application: BL2 may be used in a tank-mix as a pre-emergence band or broadcast application to soybeans
in accordance with the specified soil types and dosages specified.

For specific application information refer to the “Use Information” section in the front of this label. Dry weather following
pre-emergence application of BL2 plus alachlor, CANOPY®, “Prowl” or S-Metolachlor tank-mixture 
may reduce effectiveness. If weeds develop, cultivate uniformly with shallow tillage equipment.
Refer to the tank mix partner label for pertinent recommendations, directions for use, restrictions and any additional weeds
not specified on this label.
POTATOES
BL2 herbicide may be used in ground, aircraft or specified chemigation equipment as a pre-emergence and/or
postemergence application to potatoes. Early maturing smooth skinned white and all red skinned varieties may be injured
with postemergence applications. The varieties Atlantic, Bellchip, Centennial, Chipbelle and Shepody are sensitive to BL2.
Do not make postemergence applications on these varieties. Pre-emergence applications on these varieties may cause crop
injury under adverse weather conditions, on coarse soils, under high soil pH, with higher rates per acre and with
mechanical incorporation.
Ground Application: BL2 may be used with ground spray equipment applied as a pre-emergence and/or postemergence
application for control of the listed grass and broadleaf weeds in potatoes. Apply as a uniform broadcast spray at 20 or
more gallons per acre.
Aerial Application: BL2 may be applied in aerial spray equipment as a pre-emergence and/or postemergence application
at 5 or more gallons per acre.
Chemigation: BL2 may be applied pre-emergence and/or early postemergence to potatoes using center pivot, solid set and
lateral roll systems. Apply specified dosage in 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water per acre (1/4 to 1/2 inch on sandy soil) as a
continuous injection in self-propelled systems or apply in the last 15 to 30 minutes of the set in other systems. Be sure all
the BL2 has been flushed from the lines before shutting down the system.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
BL2 applied to potatoes according to directions, will provide control of the following weeds. For optimum control,
applications should be made before weeds are 1 inch tall.
Broadleaves
Grasses
1 Weeds controlled with pre-emergence applications.
2 Weeds controlled with postemergence applications.
3 Weeds requiring two applications for control.
Although BL2 may not provide commercially acceptable control in every instance, it will suppress growth of the following
weeds and reduce their competition with potato plants.

after periods of cool, wet cloudy weather or injury may occur.
Do not apply BL2 within 60 days of harvest.
Do not use air blast sprayers.
Do not apply to sweet potatoes or yams.
Do not plant sensitive crops including onions, lettuce, cole crops and cucurbits during the next growing season following a
BL2 application.
Do not rotate to any crop not listed on this label for 18 months following application of BL2.
CROP BL2 lb/acre
Potatoes 1/3 to 1-1/3
PRE-EMERGENCE: Apply specified dosage as a broadcast spray. Do not mechanically incorporate into soil. Use
the 1/3 to 2/3 lb/acre rate for control of wild mustard (Brassica sp.) only. On sand soils or sensitive varieties, do not
exceed 2/3 lb/acre.
Potatoes 1/3 to 2/3
(Except early maturing smooth skinned, red skinned, and 
other specified varieties.)
POSTEMERGENCE: Apply specified dosage as a broadcast spray over the tops of potato plants. Use rates of 1/3
to 2/3 lb/acre for control of redroot pigweed and common lambsquarters only. Apply the 2/3 lb/acre rate for control
of other weeds listed on this label.
SPLIT APPLICATIONS: This product may be applied once pre-emergence and once postemergence as directed
above. Do not exceed 1-1/3 lb total per acre per season.
IDAHO, OREGON AND WASHINGTON ONLY:Two postemergence applications can be made as broadcast
sprays over the tops of potato plants if BL2 is applied pre-emergence. Use 1/3 to 2/3 lb/acre for control of redroot
pigweed and lambsquarters only. On coarse (sandy) soils with low organic matter do not exceed 1/2 lb/acre per
application. On medium and heavy soils only, use 2/3 lb/acre per application for control of other weeds listed on this
label and for sup- pression of hairy nightshade. Make the first application early in the season while weeds are still
small. Allow at least 14 days before the second application. Do not apply after June 30 if treated land is to be planted
to crops other than potatoes.
21

IMPORTANT USE PRECAUTIONS – POTATOES:
Postemergence applications may cause some chlorosis or minor necrosis. These symptoms may be more severe if seed-
piece decay is occurring or if growing conditions favor crop stress.
Postemergence applications may be made only on russet or white skinned varieties that are not early maturing.
Potato varieties may vary in their response to herbicide applications. When using BL2 for the first time on a 
particular variety, always determine crop tolerance before using on a field scale.
Certain spring and winter barley, and winter wheat varieties are sensitive to BL2 and must not be planted during the next
growing season unless the following cultural practices occur:
1. Potato vines left in rows as a result of harvest must be uniformly distributed over the soil surface prior to plowing and,
2. Plow with a moldboard plow to a depth sufficient to mix the upper 8 inches of soil.
ROTATIONAL GUIDELINES
The following table shows minimum recropping intervals following BL2 application:*
* Cover crops for soil building or erosion control may be planted anytime but do not graze or harvest for food or feed.
Stand reduction may occur in some areas.
**Following peas, lentils or soybeans.
† If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, crops registered for the rate of BL2 that has been applied may be replanted into
the treated area. 
††Do not rotate rice after any application to a primary crop greater than 1.0 pounds of active ingredient per acre of
metribuzin per crop season.
