General Information
This herbicide controls many annual broadleaf and grass weeds in
corn, sorghum, sugarcane, and certain other crops specified on
this label. This product may be applied before or after weeds
emerge.
Following many years of continuous use of this product and
chemically related products, biotypes of some of the weeds
listed on this label have been reported which cannot be effec­
tively controlled by this and related herbicides. Where this is
known or suspected and weeds controlled by this product are
expected to be present along with resistant biotypes, we recom­
mend the use of this product in combinations or in sequence with
other registered herbicides which are not triazines. If only
resistant biotypes are expected to be present, use a registered
non-triazine herbicide. Consult with your state Agricultural
Extension Service for specific recommendations.
Since this product acts mainly through root absorption, its
effectiveness depends on moisture to move it into the root zone.
If weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will
gene~ally result in better weed control.
This product is noncorrosive to equipment and metal surfaces,
nonflammable, and has low electrical conductivity.
Avoid using near adjacent desirable plants or in greenhouses, or
injury may occur.
To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions.
Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result.
Where the use directions give a range of rates, use the lower
rate on coarse-textured soil and soil low in organic matter; use
the higher rate on fine-textured soil and soil high in organic
matter.
Note: Ciba-Geigy does not recommend applications in combination
with other herbicides or oils, except as specifically described
on the label or in literature published by Ciba-Geigy.
APplication Procedures
Ground application: 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 recalibrate at the start of
each season and when changing carriers. Unless otherwise speci­
fied, use a minimum of 10 gals. of spray mixture/A for all pre­
plant incorporated, preplant surface, preemergence, and post-
.. ,
-6-
emergence applications (with or without oil or surfactant) with
ground equipment.
Use a pump with capacity to (1) maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles,
(2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in sus­
pension, and (3) to provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all
times. Use centrifugal pumps which provide propeller shear
action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should
provide a minimum of 10 gals./minute/IOO gal. tank size circu­
lated through a correctly positioned sparger tube or jets.
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from
clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should
be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recircula­
tion line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and
boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufac­
turer's recommendations.
For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre
as follows:
band width in inches
row width in inches x broadcast rate
per acre
amount needed
per acre of field
Aerial application: Use aerial application only where broadcast
applications are specified. Apply in a minimum of 1 gal of
water for each 1 lb of this product applied per acre. For poS1_­
emergence treatments on corn and sorghum, apply recommended rate
in a minimum of 2 gals. of water/A. Avoid applications under
conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where
excessive spray drift may occur.
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders
should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with
skin.
Application in water or liquid fertilizer: Nitrogen solution or
complete liquid fertilizer may replace all or part of the water
as a carrier for preemergence, preplant incorporated, or pre­
plant surface ground application on corn and sorghum. Check the
compatibility of this product with liquid fertilizer and/or
nitrogen solution as shown below before use. Do not apply in
nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer after corn or
sorghum emerges.
..,
-7-
~ompatibility Test: Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even
within the same analysis, always check compatibility with herbi­
cide(s) each time before use. Be especially careful when using
complete suspension or fluid fertilizers as serious compatibil­
ity problems are more likely to occur. Commercial application
equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. The fol­
lowing test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals. per acre. For
other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredi­
ents. Check compatibility using this procedure:
1) Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars
wi th tight lids.
2) To ~ of the jars add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of
a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as
Compex® or Unite® (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pts.
per 100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3) To both jars add the appropriate amount of herbi­
cide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add
them separately with dry herbicides first, flowables
next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each
addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test
follows:
Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per
acre, add 1.5 level teaspoons to
each jar.
Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per
acre, add 0.5 teaspoon or 2.5
milliliters to each jar.
4) After adding all ingredients, put lids on and
tighten, and invert each jar ten times to mix. Let
the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for sepa­
ration, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily
film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility.
Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the
spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either
mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the
mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is
used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the
following methods of improving compatibility:
(A) slurry the dry herbicides(s) in water before
addition, or (B) add 1/2 of the compatibility agent
to the fertilizer and the other 1/2 to the emulsifi­
able concentrate or flowable herbicide before addi­
tion to the mixture. If incompatibility is still ob­
served, do not use the mixture .

Application in water plus emulsifiable oil or oil concentrate:
Adding emulsifiable oil (petroleum-derived, petroleum-derived
oil concentrate, or single or mixed crop-derived oil concen­
trate) to postemergence water-based sprays in corn and sorghum
may improve weed ~ontrol. However, under certain conditions the
use of either type of oil may seriously injure the crop. To
minimize this possibility, observe the following directions:
Use one of the following properly emulsified:
1. A suitable oil concentrate containing at least 1\ but
not more than 20% suitable emulsifier or surfactant
blend.
2. Petroleum-derived oil containing at least 1% suitable
emulsifier.
Note: In the event of a compatibility problem when mixing oil
with this product and water, a compatibility agent such as
Compex or Unite should be used. Any of the above oils
contaminated with water or other materials can cause com­
patibility problems and/or crop injury.
Mixing procedures - all uses: (1) Be sure sprayer is clean and
not contaminated with any other materials, or crop injury or
sprayer clogging may result. (2) Fill tank 1/4 full with clean
water, nitrogen solution, or complete liquid fertilizer.
(3) Start agitation. (4) Be certain that the agitation system
is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on
the liquid surface. (5) Pour product directly from bag into
tank. (6) Continue filling tank until 90% full. Increase ag­
itation if necessary to maintain surface action. (7) Add
emulsifiable oil, oil concentrate, or tank mix herbicide(s)
after this product is thoroughly suspended. (8) Finish filling
tank. (9) Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling
to prevent buildup of oil or emulsifiable concentrate residue.
Maintain agitation to avoid separation of materials. (10) If an
oil or emulsifiable c~ncentrate film starts to build up in tank,
drain it and clean with strong detergent solution or solvent.
(11) Clean sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing
system with water containing a detergent.
Rotational CrQPs - All Uses: (1) Do not rotate to any crop
except corn or sorghum until the following year, or injury may
occur. (2) If applied after June lu, do not rotate with crops
other than corn or sorghum the next year, or crop injury may
occur. (3) In the High Plains and Intermountain areas of the
West where rainfall is sparse and erratic or where irrigation is
required, use only when corn or sorghum is to follow corn or
sorghum or when a crop of untreated corn or sorghum is to pre­
cede other rotational crops. (4) In eastern parts of the
Dakotas, KS, west~rn MN and NE, do not rotate to soybeans if the
-9-
rate applied to corn or sorghum was more than 2.5 lbs./A or
equivalent band application rate, or soybean injury may occur.
(5) Injury may occur to soybeans planted the year following
application on soils having a calcareous surface layer. (6) Do
not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetables (including dry
beans), spring-seeded small grains, or small-seeded legumes and
grasses the year following application, or injury may occur.

• On lighly Irodibla Soil. la, defined by ses)
If conservation tillage is practiced, leaving at least
30% of the soil covered with plant residues at plant­
ing, apply a maximum of 2.2 lbs./A as a broadcast
spray.
If the soil coverage with plant residue is less than
30% at planting, a maximum of 1.8 Ibs./A may be
applied.
• On Soil. Not Highly Erodible
Apply 2.2 lbs./A as a broadcast spray.
FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION
If no atrazine was applied prior to corn emergence, apply a
maximum of 2.2 lbs./A broadcast. If a postemergence treat­
ment is required following an earlier herbicide
application, the total atrazine applied may not exceed
2.5 lbs. active ingredient (2.8 lbs. of this product) per
acre per calendar year.
100 not apply preplant surface or preplant incorporated
in AL, 'R, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, NM, OK, SC, TN, or TX.
Do not apply preemergencc in NM, OK, or TX, except in
northeast OK and the TX Gulf Coast and Blacklands areas.
2Where there are state/local requirements regarding
atrazine use (including lower maximum rates and/or
greater setbacks) which are different from the label,
the more re~trictive/protective requirements must be
followed. Certain states may have established rate
limitations within specific geographical areas. Consult
your state lead pesticide control agency for additional
information. It is a violation of this label to deviate
from stete use regulations.
In case of planting failure, sorghum or corn may be replanted.
Do not make a second broadcast application, or injury may occur.
If originally applied in a band and sorghum or corn is replanted
in untreated row middles, this product may be applied in a band
to the second planting provided the maximum application rate of
-19-
2.5 lbs. ai/A atrazine per calendar year is not exceeded.
Preemergence broad leaf weed control in furrow irrigated bedded
sorghum (AZ and CA gnly): For preemergence control of many
broadleaf weeds, broadcast 1-1.5 lbs./A after bed preparation,
during or after planting, but before sorghum and weeds emerge
and before the first furrow irrigation. Follow with several
regular irrigations, making sure to thoroughly wet all soil.
Precautions for pregmergence application to furrow irrigated
bedded sorghum in AZ and CA: To avoid possible sorghum injury,
do not use on sand or loamy sand soil or on sorghum planted in
furrows. Applications to sorghum growing on alkali soils or
where cuts. fills. or erosion have exposed calcareous or alkali
subsoils may cause crop injury. In case Of crop failure. dO not
replant sorghum for S months following application. Corn may be
planted immediately.
Postemergence broadleaf weed control with emulsifiable oil or
oil concentrate in water: Broadcast 1.5 Ibs./A for control of

Environmental Hazards
Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can
enter ground water which may be used as drinking water.
Atrazine has been found in ground water. Users are advised
not to apply atrazine to sand and loamy sand soils where
the water table (ground water) is close to the surface and
where these soils are very permeable, i.e., well-drained.
Your local agricultural agencies can provide further infor­
mation on the type of soil in your area and the location of
ground water.
This product may not be mixed/loaded or used within 50 feet
of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells,
and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading,
rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide
handling or application equipment or containers within
50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an
impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the
heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the
pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to
contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or
equipment rinse or wash-water, and rain-water that may fall
on the 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 ~emoval. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient
capacity to contain at a minimum 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
-32-
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
well-head setbacks and operational area containment.
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of
intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes
and reservoirs. This product may not be applied aerially
or by ground within 66 feet of the points where field sur­
face water runoff enters perennial or intermittent streams
and rivers or within 200 feet around natural or impounded
lakes and reservoirs. If this product if applied to highly
erodible land, the 66-foot buffer or setback from runoff
entry points must be planted to crop, seeded with grass or
other suitable crop.
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrat~s. For
terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or 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 treated areas. Runoff
and drift from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic
organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water
when disposing of equipment wash waters.
