- HELEIIA BRAND ATRAZWE HERBICIDE will control mos.t annual broad1eaf
- and grass weeds in corn, sorghum, sugarcane, and certain other crops.
- It is also effective for control of most annual and many perennial
- ·broadleaf and grass weeds in noncrop areas and industrial sites.
- HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE may be applied before or after weeds emerge.
- Since HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE acts mainly through root· absorption, its
- effectiveness depends on rainfall or irrigation to move it into root
- zone. Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing
- will generally result in better weed control.
- HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE is a wettable powder that should be mixed with
- water and applied as a spray. MaKe a slurry by adding HELENA BRAND
- ATRAZINE to water. Pour the slurry into the spray tank during or
- after filling. Sufficient hydraulic (jet) or mechanical agitation
- must be provided during mixing and application to keep the material
- in suspension.
- Wash sprayer thoroughly after use.
- Care should be taken to avoid using HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE where
- adjacent desirab)e trees, shrubs, or plants might be injured.
- Store HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE in a dry place.
- In each case where a range of rates is given, the lower rate ~hould
- be used on light soils and soils low in organic matter; the higher
- rate should be used on heavy soils and soils high in organic matter.
- GROUND APPLICATION: For uniform distribution in broadcast applications,
- TeeJet 8003 or 8004 fan type or similar nozzles with openings of equal
- or greater size should be used. For band applications, use TeeJet
- 8003-E or 8004-E or similar type nozzles. Screens in nozzles as well as those
- in suction and in-line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh size.
- A suitable pump with capacity to deliver 10-12 gpm should be used and
- operating pressure should be 35-40 psi. Use 20-40 gals. of water
- per acre to assure even coverage unless otherwise specified.
- AERIAL APPLICATION: Use only where broadcast· app-l ications a~· specified.
- Apply a minimum of 1 gallon of water for each"]" lb. to 1 1/2 lbs. of
- HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE to be applied per acre.
- Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage canr.ot be
- obtained or where excessive-spray drift may occur .
- . (flSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING - Avoid appl ication directly to humil'ols
- or animals.

injury, Observe all cautions and 111"ltations on labeling of all pro
ducts used in mixtures.
,-IIOCEDURES: 1) Thoroughly clean sprayer prior to use. 00 not use
sprayer contaminated with 2.4-0 or other materials as corn damage or
sprayer clogging may result. 2) In a separate container, make a
thin slurry of HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE in water. thoroughly wetting
the Atrazine. J) Fill the spray tank with water. allowing for the
addition of the HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE. 4) With the agitation
system in operation. add the Atrazine slurry. 5) Add the emulsifiable
oil last, 6) Empty the tank as completely as possible before refilling
to prevent a buildup of oil in the tank. Keep the agitation system in
operation to avoid separation of the oil from -the water in the spray
mixture still remaining in the tank. 7) If an oil film starts to build
up in the tank drain the tank and clean out with a strong detergent
solution or solvent. 8) Clean the sprayer THOROUGHLY immediately
after use by flushing the system with watpr containing a detergent.
NOTE: 1) Do not use oil in Atrazine sprays when corn is under stress
from prolonged cold, wet weather. poor fertility, or other factors, or
~hen corn is wet and succulent from recent rainfall as crop injury may
occur. 2) Do not use oil in sprays when treating inbred lines or any
breeding stock as .injury may occur. 3) Adding other insecticides.
herbicides. liquid fertilizers. or other materials is not reconmended
Ii th Atrazine and emulSifiable oil in water because they may cause
compatibility problems or crop injury. 4) Store and handle emulsifiable
oil carefully. Oil contaminated with even a small amount of water may not
emulsify properly when added to the tank. 5) Do not make more than one
application of HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE and emulsifiable oil in water per
season.

POST-EMERGENCE BRoADlEAF WEED CoNTPOl WITH HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE AND
H1ULSIFIABLE OIL IN WATER (New I-lexico. Oklahoma, and Texas only): The
addition of oil to post-emergence Atrazine in water sprays may speed the
activity of Atrazine and provide quicker kill of annual broadleaf weeds.
However, under certain conditions, the use of oil may seriously damage
sorghum. To minimize the possibility of damage to sorghum. follow the
directions and procedures given below.
GROUND APPLICATION: Broadcast 1 1/2 1bs. of HELENA BRAND ATRAZTNE and 1 gal.
of emulsifiable oi1 in 20-40 gals. of water per acre when sorghum is 8
to 10 inches in height and before it reaches the boot stage. Treat before
broadleaf weeds reach 6 inches in height.
AERIAL APPLICATION: Broadcast 1 1/2 1bs. of HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE and 1/2
gal. of emulsifiable oi1 in no less than 5 gals. of water per acre when
sorghum is 6 to 10 inches in height and betore it reaches boot stage.
Treat before broadleaf weeds reach 6 inches in height.
'For combining with Atrazine, use a crop oil designed for use with Atrazine
containing at least 1 percent suitable emulsifier. Several oils of this
type are on the market. Oils contaminated with water or other materials
can cause compatibility problems and/or crop injury.
PROCEDURES: I} Thoroughly clean sprayer prior to use. Do not use
sprayer contaminated with 2,4-0 or other materials as sorghum damage or
spray clogging may result. 2} In a separate container make a thin slurry
of I/EL[NA BRArw ATRAZIN[ in water, thoroughly wetting the Atpzine. 3}
Fill the spray tank with water, allowing fo~ the addition of the Atrazine.
4) With the agitation system in operation. add the HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE
slurry. 5) Add the emulsifiable oil last. 6} Empty the tank as ,:onrpletely
.1S possible before refi 1 I ing to prevent a buildup of oil in the tanK. Keep
the agitation system in operation to avoid a separation af te oi from the
,",Her in the spray mixture still remaining in the tank. '7} ;If a,l Jil film
starts to build up in the tank, drain the tank and clean ot 'with i .strong
detergent solution or solvent. 8} Clean the sprayer tho~~~ghly lciately

a sillall amount of lter may not emulsify properly when added to the tank.
5) Do not make m ~ than one application of HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE and
emulsifiable oil . water per season.
PRECAUTIONS: 1) Heavy rains immediately following application tend. to result
in excessive concentrations of herbicide in seed furrow, resulting in po>sible
crop Injury. App1 ications to furrow-planted sorghum should not be made'
until furrows are leveled (plowed-in). Deep planter marks or seed furrows
should be leveled before application. 2) Application made to sorghum growing
under stress cause~ by minor element deficiency or to sorghum growing on
highly calcareous soils may result in crop injury. 3) 00 not plant any
rotational crops otl r than those specified in the Suggestions for Rotational
Crops section below for 18 months following application. 4) Do'not graze
or feed forage from treated areas for 21 days following application. 5)
Following harvest of a treated crop, plow (moldboard or disk-plow) and
thorogh1y till the soil in fall or spring to minimize possible injury to
rotational spring-seeded crops, regardless of the rate userl.
SUGGESTIONS FOR ROTATIONAL CROPS: 1) Sorghum or corn may be planted the year
following treatment. 2) All other rotational crops may be planted 18 months
after application. 3) When the broadcast rate used does not exceed 1 1/2
1bs. per acre, fall wheat may be planted 15 months after application.
