Environmental Hazards 
Atrazine has been identified in limited ground water sampling and there is the possibility that it 
can leach through the soil to ground water, especially where soils are coarse and ground water is 
near the surface. Users are advised not to apply this product to sand and loamy sand soils where 
the water table (ground water) is near the surface and where these soils are permeable (well 
drained). 
Ground water contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent liquid bulk 
storage siles with an impermeable material. 
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas 
where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff 
and drift from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do 
not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. 
This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected 
in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where 
the groundwater is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. 
Acetochlor has properties that may result in surface water contamination via dissolved runoff and 
runoff erosion. Practices should be followed to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff andlor 
runoff erosion.

GENERAL INFORMATION 
Produc! Description: This product provides postemergence, systemic control of many annual 
grasses and broadleaf weeds and suppression of perennial weeds in Roundup Ready® corn. This 
product will also provide residual control of selected grasses and broadleaf weeds. 
This product can be applied postemergence to Roundup Ready corn from seedling emergence 
until the corn reaches II inches in height. A single in-crop application of this product is not to 
exceed 2.7 quarts per acre. 
Only apply this product to corn hybrids designated as containing the Roundup Ready gene. 
Applying this product to corn hybrids which are not designated as Roundup Ready will result in 
severe crop injury and yield loss. The Roundup Ready designation indicates that the corn 
contains a patented gene which provides tolerance to this herbicide. Information on Roundup 
Ready corn may be obtained from your seed supplier or Monsanto Represemative. 
The product is formulated as a suspoemulsion. It may be applied through most standard 
industrial or field-type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with water according to label 
instructions. 
Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to 
and into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days, but on 
most perennial weeds may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather 
following treatment may slow post-emergence activity of this product and delay development of 
visual symptoms. Visible effects are a gradual Wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances 
to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. 
Moisture in the form of rainfall Of irrigation is required after application to move this product 
into the weed germination zone for preemergence weed control. The amount of moisture 
required depends on the soil moisture content at the time of application, soil type, and plant 
residues. Performance is improved when 1/3 to * inch of moisture is received within one week 
after application and prior to weed emergence. High intensity or excessive rainfall or irrigation 
after application may reduce preemergence weed control on coarse soils. 
Stage of Weeds: Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small (2-4 inches tall). 
Apply the product prior to when weeds become competitive with the corn. 
Always use the highest labeled r~te of this product when weed growth is heavy or dense. 
Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect 
damage, as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating 
weeds heavily covered with dust. 
Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall or sprinkler irrigation soon after application may wash this product 
off of the foliage reducing the level of control of emerged weeds. 
Spray Coverage: For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray 
weed foliage to the point of runoff.

label may result in reduced performance or crop injury. 
Maximwn Use Rate: The maximum postemergence fate for a single application must not 
exceed 2.7 quarts of this product per acre per application in Roundup Ready corn. If additional 
weed control is needed after the corn exceeds 11 inches taJ!. an application of Roundup is 
recommended. Follow the Roundup label Use. Restrictions. and Precautionary Statements for 
later postemergence applications in Roundup Ready Corn. 
Rotational Crops: 
Do not rotate to any crop except corn (including sweet corn) or Milo (sorghum) until the 
following year. CORN (ALL TYPES INCLUDING SWEET CORN). MILO (SORGHUM). OR 
SOYBEANS CAN BE PLANTED THE YEAR FOLLOWING THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT 
IF SOYBEANS OR OTHER NONLABELED CROPS ARE TO BE PLANTED THE 
FOLLOWING YEAR. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF CROP INJUR Y DUE TO 
CARRYOVER OF ATRAZINE. 
USE RESTRICTIONS 
This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected 
in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where 
the groundwater is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Do not apply to the

Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks. 
container or equipment rinse or wash water. and rainwater that may fallon 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 a minimum of 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 site. States may have in effect additional requirements 
regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. 
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 ft. of intermittent streams and rivers. natural

Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled mixtures of this product with 
water carrier by mixing smaiJ proportional quantities in advance. 
Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with water as follows: 
I. Place a 20 to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port. 
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with water. 
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of 
undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already 
in the tank. Use only compatibility agents cleared by FDA for this use. Read and follow all 
directions for use, cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the selected 
compatibility agent label. Check for adequate agitation. 
4. Add tank mix components. If a wettable powder is used, make a slurry with water, and add 
it SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation. If flowable herbicides are 
used, add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved 
when flowable is premixed one part flowable with one part water. Add diluted mixture 
SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. 
5. Add the recommended amount of this product near the end of the filling process SLOWLY 
through the screen into the tank and mix well. Mixing and compatibility may be imprOVed 
when this product is prediluted with two parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form. 
6. Complete filling the sprayer tank with water. If Roundup® is used, add the required amount 
near the end of the filling prtJcess. Remove hose from tank immediately to avoid siphoning 
back into the water source. Maintain good agitation at al1 times until the contents of the 
tank are sprayed. 
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. NOTE: If spray 
mixture is allowed 10 seU)e at any time, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture 
before spraying is resumed. 
Keep by-pass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line 
strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine 
mist. Check for even distribution of spray droplets. For best results with ground application, use 
flat fan or whirl-chamber nozzle. To reduce loss of chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at 
pressures less than 40 psi.

Due to crop injury. it is not recommended that postemergence applications of this product be 
made to Roundup Ready corn using fluid fertilizer as the carrier. Adding surfactants. additives 
containing surfactants. miCfonutrients, and liquid fertilizers are NOT recommended as crop 
injury may occur. 
THOROUG\-U.Y CLEAN THE SPRAY TANK AND ALL LINES AND FILTERS TO 
ELIMINATE POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION FROM OTHER HERBICIDES PRIOR TO 
MIXING AND APPLYING THIS PRODUCT. 
MIX ONLY WITH CLEAN WATER. Reduced results may occur if muddy water is used. such 
as water from ponds or ditches. 
Ammonium Sulfate - The addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may increase the 
performance of (his producl on emerged annual weeds under adverse growing conditions. \Vhen 
using ammonium sulfate, add I to 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 8.5 to 17 pounds 
per 100 gallons of water. Ammonium sulfate should be added to the water in the spray tank and 
completely dissolved prior to adding herbicide. 
If ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray tank. add slowly with agitation. Adding too 
quickly may clog outlet lines. Nozzle tip plugging may result from the use of low-quality 
ammonium sulfate. To determine quality. perform a jar test by adding 1/3 cup of ammonium 
sulfate to 1 gallon of water and agitate for 1 minute. If undissolved sediment is observed, 
predissolve the ammonium sulfate in water and filter prior to addition to the spray tank. 
Followjng use of ammonium sulfate. thoroughly rinse the spray system with clean water to 
reduce corrosion. 
APPLICATION INFORMA nON 
A TTENTION: A VOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING 
THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS WHICH 
DO NOT CONTAIN THE ROUNDUP READY GENE. 
Do nO! allow the herbicide solution to mist. drip. drift or splash onto desirable vegetation since 
minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destruction to the crop, plants or 
other areas on which treatment was not intended. The likelihood of injury occurring from the 
use of this product increases when winds are gusty. as wind velocity increases, when wind 
direction is constantly changing or when there are other meteorological conditions that favor 
spray drift. When spraying. avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in 
splatter or fine particles (mist) which are likely to drift. A VOID APPLYING AT EXCESSIVE 
SPEED OR PRESSURE. 
Postemergence Broadcast Application to Roundup Ready Corn - This product may be applied 
postemergence until Roundup Ready corn reaches I J inches in height. Use conventional ground 
sprayers equipped with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain that 
nozzles are uniformly spaced and are the same size. Calibrate sprayer before use and reealibrate 
at the start of each season. Apply this product and labeled tank mixtures in JO to 25 gallons of 
water per acre using broadcast boom equipment. Do nOl apply during periods when winds are 
gusty. when winds are in excess of 15 mph. or any DIller conditions which favor drift. 
As density of weeds increases. spray volume should be increased within the recommended range 
to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select correct nozzles and spray pressure to avoid 
spraying a fine mist. For best results with groundapplication equipment, use flat fan nozzles or

Roundup Ready Corn 
This product is applied postemergence to Roundup Ready corn from seedling emergence until the 
corn reaches 11 inches in height. A single in-crop application of this product is not to exceed 2.7 
quarts per acre. Normal use rates are between 2 and 2.7 quarts per acre based on weed species, 
weed size and weed density at the time of the postemergence application. Use the higher rate on 
larger weeds and where heavy weed infestations exist. This product should be applied when 
weeds are 2-4 inches in height and before the weed height and/or density become competitive 
with the crop. 
Annual weeds--For difficult-to-control weeds such as fall panicum. barnyardgrass, crabgrass, 
shattercane, broadleaf signalgrass and Pennsylvania smartweed, apply this product at 2.7 quarts 
per acre. For other labeled annual weeds, apply 2.0 to 2.7 quarts of this product per acre. Use 
the higher rates in areas of heavy weed pressure and when targeting perennial weeds to reduce 
competition. 
When applied as directed under the conditions described. this product will control many emerged 
annual weeds, suppress many emerged perennial weeds, and provide control or suppression of 
many annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in Roundup Ready corn. See WEED CONTROLLED 
section of this label for a listing of weeds controlled. This product will not control regrowth from 
perennial weeds or unemerged perennial weeds. 
For mixing instructions, see the MIXING, SPRAYING AND HANDLING section of this label. 
NOTE: For hard-to-control weeds. additional amounts of Harness® herbicide andlor atrazine 
may be added to the recommended treatment rates for this product to provide improved residual 
control from a postemergence application in Roundup Ready corn. For more consistent control 
of common cocklebur, annual morningglory or velvetleaf, additional atrazine may be applied so 
that the total 3trazine is at least 1.5 Ib active ingredient per acre on medium textured soils with 
MON 78t02V2 Page 18 of20 09116/99

! I. 
less that 3 percent organic matter, and 1.5 to 2 Ib active ingredient per acre on medium and fine 
textured soils with 3 percent or greater organic matter. 
For improved residual control of grasses and small seeded broadleaf weeds, up to an additional 
1.8 pints of Harness per acre can be added to 2,7 quarts per acre of this produc!. The quantity of 
Harness to add depends on the soil type, soil organic matter and desired weeds to be controlled. 
A maximum of 3 Ib active ingredient of acetochlor per acre can be applied per year. Refer to the 
Harness label booklet for specific recommendations and limitations regarding application rate. 
Additional atrazine up to a maximum rate of 2 Ibs. active ingredients can be applied 
postemergence. That would mean that up to an additional 2.0 pints of atrazine 4L per acre (or 1.1 
Ibs. per acre of atrazine 90DF) could be applied with 2.7 quarts per acre of this product. If 
additional postemergence atrazine treatment is to be applied following an earlier atrazine 
application, the total arrazine applied may not exceed 2.5 Ibs. active ingredients per acre per 
calendar year (2.7 quart per acre postemergence application of this product would apply 1 Ib 
active ingredient of atrazine per acre). 
NOTE: The maximum application rate of atrazine is 2.5 pounds active ingredient per acre per 
calendar year (2.5 quarts per acre atrazine 4L). On highly erodible soils (as defined by the Soil 
Conservation Service with less than 30 percent residue cover, the maximum rate of atrazine is 
1.6 pounds active ingredient (1.6 quartS per acre of atrazine 4L). On soils not highly erodible or 
on highly erodible soils with more than 30 percent plant residue cover, the maximum rate of 
atrazine is 2 pounds active ingredient per acre (2 quarts per acre of atrazine 4L). 
NOTE: There is a possibility of crop injury due to carryover of atrazine if soybeans are planted 
the following year. 
REFER TO SPECIFIC PRODUCT LABELS FOR ADDITIONAL WEEDS CONTROLLED, 
CROP ROTATION RESTRICTIONS AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS.
