PRODUCT INFORMATION - SUGAR BEETS, BEETS, TABLE
(GARDEN), ONION (DRY BULB), SHALLOT (BULB), AND
CARROT (For Use in Washington and Oregon Only)
Nortron SC Herbicide is a selective herbicide for use in sugar beets, table beets,
onion, shallot, and carrot for the control of the weed species listed in the table
“WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED.”
Residual control of weeds is dependent upon soil moisture conditions; rate of
herbicide used, and soil texture. The activity of Nortron SC Herbicide in the soil is
reduced	as	the	soil	texture	becomes	finer	and	organic	matter	increases.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Crops grown under rainfall: Apply Nortron SC Herbicide alone or in a tank mix
preemergence at time of planting or shortly after, but prior to weed germination.
Nortron SC Herbicide or tank mix does not require mechanical soil incorporation
provided	that	sufficient	rainfall	occurs	shortly	following	application	to	activate	the
chemical. One-half inch of rainfall is usually adequate for activation. In areas where
rainfall	can	be	marginal	for	activation,	such	as	the	Red	River	Valley	(Minnesota
and North Dakota) for sugar beets, it is advised that Nortron SC Herbicide be
applied before or at the time of planting and incorporated into the soil.
Crops grown under furrow irrigation:  Apply Nortron SC Herbicide alone or in
a tank mix to the soil surface preplant or at time of planting, but prior to weed

germination. Where crops are grown in beds, apply Nortron SC Herbicide or
tank mix after bedding and incorporate. Since Nortron SC Herbicide must have
moisture to control weeds effectively, irrigate until tops of beds are thoroughly
wetted.
Crops grown under sprinkler irrigation: Apply Nortron SC Herbicide alone or in
tank mix preemergence at time of planting or shortly after, and irrigate prior to crop
and weed germination. Repeat irrigation as necessary to maintain good moisture

in	upper	soil	layer.	Apply	at	least	one-half	inch	of	water	during	first	irrigation.	Do	not
mechanically incorporate Nortron SC Herbicide into the soil under sprinkler irrigation.
Tank Mixing:
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for
the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and
directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in
the tank mixture.
CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION: When properly applied,
Nortron SC Herbicide alone can provide up to 6 weeks control of susceptible
weed species (see table “WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED”) in table beets, onion,
shallot and carrot, and up to 10 weeks control in sugar beets. When cultivating
fields	in	which	Nortron	SC	Herbicide	has	been	banded,	care	should	be	exercised	to
minimize the movement of untreated soil into the treated band. Where a broadcast
application has been made, do not cultivate deeper than two inches, as this reduces
the effectiveness of Nortron SC Herbicide.
PREPLANT AND PREEMERGENCE USE INSTRUCTIONS
Nortron SC Herbicide applied alone or in tank mixes according to label directions
and under normal growing conditions may cause temporary leaf fusion, distortion,
and stunting. Crop injury may occur during early growth when crop is stressed due
to herbicide residue carryover, highly saline or alkaline soils, unusually cold and wet
weather or improperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides.
Unusually dry, windy weather, which dries the upper soil layer, following application
of Nortron SC Herbicide, may reduce effectiveness.
DO	NOT	OVERTREAT:	The	use	of	higher	than	specified	rates	may	cause	beet
injury and/or carry over problems.
PREPLANT AND PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
SOIL PREPARATION: The soil should be prepared according to good agricultural
practices. Large clods can reduce the effectiveness of Nortron SC Herbicide and
tank mixes. All existing vegetative growth should be thoroughly worked into the soil
before treatment.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT: Apply Nortron SC Herbicide alone or in tank mixes to the
soil using standard low pressure (20 to 50 psi) spray equipment. Spray equipment
should be carefully calibrated before use and checked frequently during application
to see that it is functioning properly. Do not use smaller than 50-mesh strainer.
Uniformly	apply	the	specified	rates	of	Nortron	SC	Herbicide	or	tank	mixes	in	10	to
60 gallons of water per acre on a broadcast basis. Avoid overlaps since crop injury
may result. When applying Nortron SC Herbicide or tank mixes in a band, check to
make certain that the bandwidth is accurate for the dosage rate being applied.
The spray tank and lines should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed prior to using
Nortron SC Herbicide.

Mixing the Spray: Add Nortron SC Herbicide to the water in the spray while
agitating the spray solution thoroughly.
Spray Equipment: Apply the mixture using standard low-pressure (20–60 psi)
spray equipment. Ensure that the sprayer is thoroughly clean. Spray equipment
should be carefully calibrated before use and checked frequently during application
to	see	that	it	is	functioning	properly.	Uniformly	apply	the	specified	rate	in	10–40
gallons of water per acre on a broadcast basis or 5–10 gallons of water per acre in a
band. Avoid overlaps, since crop injury may result. When applying in a band, check
to make certain that the bandwidth is accurate for the dosage rate being applied. Do
not use strainer smaller than 50-mesh.
Moisture Following Application/Residual Weed Control: Rainfall or sprinkler
irrigation within 6 hours of spraying may reduce weed control; however, with
preemergence rates, moisture after this period of time is advantageous for moving
Nortron SC Herbicide into the top layer of soil where it can be absorbed by the
roots of sprayed and germinating weeds to provide optimum control. One-half
inch or more of sprinkler irrigation is required to activate Nortron SC Herbicide on
most soil types.
Residual control of weeds is dependent upon soil moisture conditions; rate of
herbicide used, and soil texture. The activity of Nortron SC Herbicide in the soil is
reduced	as	the	soil	texture	becomes	finer	and	organic	matter	increases.
NORTRON SC HERBICIDE MAY CAUSE CROP INJURY OR STAND LOSS IF
THE CROP IS UNDER STRESS FROM ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS:
•	Rapid	climatic	changes	from	cool,	overcast	days,	to	hot	(80°F	or	over),	bright
days.	When	the	air	temperature	is,	or	is	likely	to	be,	above	80°F	on	the	day	of
spraying, application should be made in the evening when the temperature is
lower.
•	Frost	within	seven	days	following	treatment
•	Windy	or	drought	conditions
•	Use	of	a	preplant	or	preemergence	herbicide	or	other	chemicals
•	Insect	or	disease	injury
•	Close	cultivation
If stress conditions are present, delay application until crop has recovered.
DO	NOT	OVERTREAT:	The	use	of	higher-than-specified	rates	may	cause	crop
injury and/or carry over problems.
Do not spray while dew is present.
Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 6 hours of application may reduce weed kill.
If	Nortron	SC	Herbicide	is	applied	on	fields	with	heavy	crop	residue,	such	as	from
a previous corn crop, reduced weed control may occur.
Do not allow spray drift to contact adjacent crops, which may be injured by spray
drift.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
This chemical can contaminate surface water through spray drift. A variety
of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind directions, wind speed,
temperature, relative humidity) and method of application (e.g., ground, aerial)
can	influence	pesticide	drift.	The	applicator	must	evaluate	all	factors	and	make
appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
Damage to sensitive crops can occur as a result of spray drift. Spray drift can be
managed by several application factors and by spraying under the appropriate
climatic conditions. Consequently, avoidance of spray drift is the responsibility of
the applicator and grower.

WIND:
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph.
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 must be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind
direction and high inversion potential. NOTE:	 	 Local	 terrain	 can	 influence	 wind
patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they
affect spray drift.
For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the
application site, on the upwind side, immediately prior to application.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS:
Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversion or stable atmospheric
conditions.
Do not make ground applications into areas of temperature inversions 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 must only be applied when the potential for drift
to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for
threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is
blowing away from the sensitive areas).
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and
grower. 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.
Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to
food,	forage,	or	other	plantings	that	might	be	damaged	or	crops	thereof	rendered	unfit
for sale, use, or consumption can occur.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift
movement	from	aerial	applications	to	agricultural	field	crops.
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 backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed
downwards more than 45 degrees.
3. All ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using
appropriate carriers.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed.
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE:
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).
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control.
Select nozzles and pressure that deliver medium spray droplets as indicated in nozzle
manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that
deliver coarse spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume
per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of weeds.

4.50”
4.0625”
7.75”

COPY AREA
COPY AREA
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 3/4 of the
wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
APPLICATION HEIGHT:
For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the
ground or crop canopy. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
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. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/
or high temperatures.
HERBICIDE RESISTANCE
For resistance management, Nortron SC Herbicide is a Group 8 herbicide. Any weed
population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Nortron SC Herbicide
and other Group 8 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population
if	 these	 herbicides	 are	 used	 repeatedly	 in	 the	 same	 field.	 Appropriate	 resistance
management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
•	Rotate	the	use	of	Nortron	SC	Herbicide	or	other	Group	8	herbicides	within	a	growing
season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that
control	the	same	weeds	in	a	field.
•	Use	 tank	 mixtures	with	 herbicides	from	 a	 different	group	if	 such	 use	 is	 permitted;
where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less
resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well
as	the	more	resistance-prone	partner.	Consult	your	local	extension	service	or	certified
crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to
resistance.
•	Adopt	 an	 integrated	 weed-management	program	 for	 herbicide	 use	 that	 includes
scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation,
and that considers tillage ( or other mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher
crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the
crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other
management practices.
•	Scout	 after	 herbicide	 application	 to	 monitor	 weed	 populations	 for	 early	 signs	 of
resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1)
failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose
applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch
of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with
controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed

DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF NORTRON SC HERBICIDE
SPECIFIC TO CROPS
SUGAR BEETS
USE INSTRUCTIONS
Following a preemergence treatment of Nortron SC Herbicide, do not apply conventional
rates of Nortron SC Herbicide postemergence where more than 6 pints were applied
preplant or preemergence. Do not apply more than a total of 4 lbs ai/A (1 gallon; 128
fluid	ounces)	of	Nortron	SC	Herbicide	per	year.	The	maximum	single	application	rate	is
3.75	lbs	ai/A	(7	1/2	pints;	120	fluid	ounces).		Do	not	retreat	within	10	days.	Do	not	apply
more than 4 applications. See Use Restrictions for additional information on proper use.
PREPLANT INCORPORATED, LAYERING AND FALL APPLICATIONS
See the Information section for instructions on making preplant and preemergence
applications.
INCORPORATION EQUIPMENT: Where soil incorporation is recommended, use
a hooded power- or ground-driven rotary tiller, rolling cultivator, or similar equipment
properly adjusted to uniformly incorporate Nortron SC Herbicide or tank mixes to a
depth of 1 to 2 inches. Deeper incorporation may reduce effectiveness. Do not apply
Nortron SC Herbicide or tank mixes through soil injector shanks. Incorporation should
be accomplished prior to planting. If done after planting, proper precautions should be
taken to avoid damaging or moving the crop seed. See below for Layering Application.
LAYERING APPLICATION:
Spring: Form	beds	with	appropriate	bedding	equipment.	Pre-irrigate	field	if	necessary.
Remove bed top with suitable de-ridging machinery to provide a minimum width of 10"
across	the	top	of	the	bed.	Apply	Nortron	SC	Herbicide	in	a	band	at	the	specified	rate
indicated in the appropriate regional dosage table and covers the treated band with 1
inch of soil using ditchers or discs equipment. Shape the bed with roller shaper and
irrigate until the tops of the beds are thoroughly wetted. Irrigate from furrows on both
sides of the row.
Fall: This method of application can be used when spring moisture is marginal or
where irrigation water is not available at planting time. Fall bedding utilizes the winter-
accumulated moisture to enhance activation of the herbicide and to aid in germination
of the sugar beet crop.
Prepare	the	field	(as	for	planting;	plow,	pack,	and	float,	etc.),	in	 the	fall,	usually	late
September or October. Apply Nortron SC Herbicide in a band to the soil surface at the
specified	rate	indicated	in	the	appropriate	regional	dosage	table.	Be	sure	that	the	soil
surface to be treated is free of trash and vegetation.

Cover the treated bands with soil and form beds or ridges using ditchers or discs. In the
spring	when	the	soil	is	sufficiently	dry	to	be	worked,	de-ridge	the	beds	down	to	within
1/2" to 1" of the treated layer using suitable equipment such as the Kirchner bedder or
Oregon Northslope harrow. When de-ridging, maintain the original bedding guidance
system by using a bull tongue chisel, slide guides, or similar equipment. This will ensure
that the planter will follow in the treated band. Plant sugar beets in the de-ridged area
when the soil conditions allow.

RYEGRASS, TALL FESCUE, BENTGRASS, AND  KENTUCKY
BLUEGRASS SEED CROPS
(For use in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington only)
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Nortron SC Herbicide is a selective herbicide for use in ryegrass, tall fescue, and
bentgrass seed crops in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. It
effectively controls or reduces competition from those weed species listed in the
table “WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED.”
(continued)

COPY AREA
COPY AREA
Nortron SC Herbicide may be applied preemergence to new seedlings of annual
or perennial ryegrass or postemergence to perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, or
bentgrass. Application to bentgrass is restricted to plantings, which have been
established for one year or longer. Soil should be moist at time of application.
Nortron SC Herbicide is less effective when applied to dry soil. Rainfall or overhead
irrigation shortly after application is necessary for activation.
Residual control of weeds is dependent upon soil moisture conditions, rate of
herbicide used, and soil texture. The activity of Nortron SC Herbicide in the soil
is	reduced	as	the	soil	texture	becomes	finer	and	organic	matter/thatch	increases.
Spray equipment:	 Use	 a	 fixed-boom	 power	 sprayer	 properly	 calibrated	 to	 a
constant speed and rate of delivery. Do not use smaller than 50-mesh strainer.
Avoid overlapping of spray swath. Shut off boom while starting, turning, or stopping
to avoid overlapping. Apply in 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre at low pressure
(20 to 50 psi).
Soil preparation:	 A	 firm,	 fine	 and	 level	 seedbed	 free	 of	 trash	 and	 vegetative
matter will provide best results from preemergence applications. Large clods
can reduce effectiveness of Nortron SC Herbicide. All existing vegetative growth
should be thoroughly worked into the soil before treatment.
USE RESTRICTIONS
Do	not	apply	more	than	a	total	of	4	lbs	ai/A	(1	gallon;	128	fluid	ounces)	of	Nortron
SC Herbicide per year. The maximum single application rate is 3 pints (1.5 lbs ai/A;
0.38	 gallon;	 48	 fluid	 ounces).	 Do	 not	 retreat	 within	 10	 days.	 Do	 not	 apply	 more
than 4 applications. See Use Restrictions for additional information on proper use.
NEW SEEDINGS OF ANNUAL OR PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
Before weed emergence: Apply Nortron SC Herbicide after seeding and prior to
weed emergence. For best results, apply to moist soil. Apply 1 1/2 to 3 pints per
acre. Use the lower rate for control of common chickweed. For control of rattail
fescue, wild oats, and volunteer cereals and other weeds listed, use 2 1/4 to 3
pints per acre.
After weed emergence:  Apply Nortron SC Herbicide at earliest possible weed
growth stage but not later than the 4-leaf stage. Rattail fescue, wild oats, and
volunteer	cereals,	which	are	more	difficult	to	control,	must	be	treated	no	later	than
the 2-leaf stage. Apply 2 1/4 to 3 pints per acre. Use the highest rate where rattail
fescue, wild oats, and volunteer cereals are present and where weed infestation
is heavy.
NEW SEEDINGS OF FALL-PLANTED PERENNIAL RYEGRASS AND TALL
FESCUE TREATED WITH DIURON PLUS CHARCOAL
Timing of application:  Apply Nortron SC Herbicide following crop emergence
and	 after	 sufficient	 rainfall	 and/or	 overhead	 irrigation	 has	 occurred	 to	 dissipate
the charcoal band (approximately 4 inches). Use dosage rates listed in Dosage
Table 6. Surface debris may result in reduced weed control. Failure to allow for
complete dissipation of the charcoal band may result in reduced weed control
within the crop row. For best results, apply Nortron SC Herbicide to a moist soil
surface.
Before using diuron, read the diuron label for rates, timing of applications, directions
for use, and precautionary statements. Do not exceed maximum dosage rates for
either herbicide.
NOTE: Do not apply Nortron SC Herbicide when crop shows diuron injury.

fescue, wild oats, and volunteer cereals are present. Where weed pressure is very
heavy and rattail fescue is at the maximum stage of growth for treating, apply
Nortron SC Herbicide at a rate of 3 pints.
ESTABLISHED STANDS OF BENTGRASS
Apply only to well-established stands, which have been seeded for not less than 12
months. Straw from previous crop must be removed or destroyed. Failure to do so
may result in reduced weed control.
Before weed emergence: Apply Nortron SC Herbicide at 1 1/2 to 3 pints per acre
prior to weed emergence. Use higher rate where rattail fescue, wild oats, and volunteer
cereals are expected to be a problem. For best results, apply to moist soil.

COMMERCIAL SOD PRODUCTION
(For use in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington only)
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Nortron SC Herbicide is a selective herbicide for use in established and newly planted tall
fescue and perennial ryegrass grown for sod in California, Idaho. Nevada, Oregon, and
Washington. Nortron SC Herbicide may be applied preemergence or postemergence for
the control of weed species listed in the table “WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED.”
Overhead irrigation or rainfall shortly after application is necessary for activation.
Residual control of weeds is dependent upon soil moisture conditions, rate of herbicide
used, and soil texture. The activity of Nortron SC Herbicide in the soil is reduced as the
soil	texture	becomes	finer	and	organic	matter/thatch	increases.
Spray equipment:	Use	a	 fixed-boom	power	sprayer	properly	calibrated	to	 a	 constant
speed and rate of delivery. Do not use smaller than a 50-mesh strainer. Avoid overlapping
of spray swath. Shut off boom while starting, turning, or stopping to avoid over-application.
Make applications in 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre at low pressure (20 to 50 psi).
Soil preparation: All existing vegetative matter should be thoroughly worked into the soil
surface before planting. Large clods, trash, or vegetative matter left on the soil surface will
reduce effectiveness of the Nortron SC Herbicide treatment.
USE RESTRICTIONS
Do	not	apply	more	than	a	total	of	4	lbs	ai/A	(1	gallon;	128	fluid	ounces)	of	Nortron	SC
Herbicide per year. The maximum single application rate is 3 pints (1.5 lbs ai/A;
0.38	 gallon;	 48	 fluid	 ounces).	 Do	 not	 retreat	 within	 10	 days.	 Do	 not	 apply	 more
than 3 applications. See Use Restrictions for additional information on proper use.
NEWLY PLANTED PERENNIAL RYEGRASS AND TALL FESCUE GROWN FOR SOD
Apply Nortron SC Herbicide to newly planted areas when crop reaches the 2- to 3-leaf
stage of growth. For best results, apply to moist soils.
Before weed emergence: Apply Nortron SC Herbicide at 2 1/4 to 3 pints per acre prior
to weed emergence. Use the higher rate where rattail fescue, wild oats, and volunteer
cereals are expected to be a problem.
After weed emergence: Apply Nortron SC Herbicide at earliest possible weed growth
stage but no later than the 4-leaf stage. Rattail fescue, wild oats, and volunteer cereals,
which	are	more	difficult	to	control,	must	be	treated	no	later	than	the	2-leaf	stage.	Apply
Nortron SC Herbicide at 2 1/4 to 3 pints per acre.

ESTABLISHED PERENNIAL RYEGRASS AND TALL FESCUE SOD
For preemergence and/or postemergence control of susceptible weeds, apply
Nortron SC Herbicide prior to weed emergence or at the earliest possible weed
growth stage, but not later than the 4-leaf stage. For best results, apply to moist
soils. Apply Nortron SC Herbicide at 2 1/4 to 3 pints per acre. Repeat applications
at 4 to 8 week intervals may be needed to maintain weed control. DO NOT apply
more than 1 gallon of Nortron SC Herbicide per acre per growing year (4 lbs ai/A).
USE PRECAUTIONS
Nortron SC Herbicide may cause stunting and stand reduction of newly seeded
perennial ryegrass and tall fescue, if the crop is planted late in the fall and subjected
to adverse climatic conditions or pesticides, which restrict normal growth.
