Genera1 InfQrmation 
Evik 80W contr01s most annual broadleaf and grass weeds (see 
list under each crop). When applied before weed emergence, Evik 
80W kills weeds as they germinate by entering roots. On exist­
ing weeds, it is effective through leaf contact. 
Following many years of continuous use of this product and chem­
ica11y related products, biotypes of some of the weeds listed on 
this label have been reported which cannot be effectively con­
trolled by this and related herbicides. Where this is known or 
suspected, we recommend the use of this product in combination 
with other registered herbicides which are not triazines. Con­
sult with your State Agricultural Extension Service for specific 
recommendations. 
Avoid using Evik 80W where adjacent desirable plants may be 
injured. 
Evik 80W is noncorrosive to equipment and metal surfaces, non­
flammable, and has low electrical conductivity.

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 cir­
culated through a correctly positioned sparger tube OJ:; 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 Qr coarser. Do not place a screen ~iri-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 appJication: Use aerial application only where specified 
in the use directions. Avoid appl:i.cations under conditions 
where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where exc.essive 
spray drift may occur. 
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen' and loaders 
should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with 
skin. 
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 or nitrogen solution (may be used in corn). (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) Make a slurry by adding Evik 80W to a small amount 
of water in a separate container and pour slurry into tank: 
(6) Continue filling tank until 90% full. InC-rease agitation if 
necessary to maintain surface action. (7) Add tank mix herbi­
cide(s) after this product is thoroughly suspended. (8) Finish 
filling tank. Maintain agitation to avoid separation of mate­
rials. (9) Empty tank as completely as possible before refill­
ing to prevent buildup of emulsifiable concentrate residue from 
possible tank mix herbicides. (10) If an emulsifiable concen­
trate film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with 
strong detergent solution or solvent. (11) Clean sprayer tpor~ 
oughly immediately after use by flushing system with water ~nU 
taining a detergent. : •• :.: •

propriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility using 
this procedure. 
1) Add 1 pt. of fertilizer to each of 2 one-qt. jars with 
tight lids. 
2) To.Qng of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a 
compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is 
equivalent to 2 p~s. per 100 gals. spray). Shake or stir 
gently to mix. Examples of compatibility agents include 
Compex® and Unite®. 
3) To ~ jars, add 1.4 teaspoons of Evik 80W for each pound 
per acre to be applied. 
4) After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and 
invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the.mixtures stand 15 
minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, pre­
cipitates, 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 2 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, try slurrying the Evik 
80W in water before addition. If still -incompatible, do 
not use the nitrogen solution and Evik 80W in the .same 
spray tank.

Suggestions For Crop Rotation; Small grains, such as wheat, 
oats, and rye, may be planted in the fall following the recom­
mended application. Do not plant any rotational crop other than 
small grains until the following year, 
~: Allow 30 days after the application before harvesting, 
grazing, or feeding forage to livestock. 
pineapple 
For control of broadleaf and grass weeds including rattlebox 
(Crotalaria spp.), dallisgrass, goosegrass (Elusine indica), 
Japanese tea, kukaipuaa and other crabgrass species (Digitaria 
spp.), paulea (sowthistle), common purslane, (Ricnardia spp.), 
spanishneedles, wild pea bean, Amaranthus spp., Flora's paint­
brush, foxtail, junglerice, fireweed, and Panicum spp., apply up 
to 9 1bs. of Evik BOW/A as a blanket spray immediately after 
planting, or after plant crop harvest is completed and before 
weeds emerge. Apply in 20-40 gals. of water/A. 
Notes: (1) Do not apply more than 9 lbs. of Evik BOW/A per crop 
cycle. A crop cycle refers to either the plant crop cycle, or 
to each ratoon crop cycle. (2) Do not make the last application 
within 160 days of harvest. 
Sugarcane 
To control weeds specified in the various states, apply Evik BOW 
alone or in tank mix combinations. Broadcast aerially in a 
m~n~mum volume of 5 gals. of spray per acre, or broadcast or 
band by ground in a minimum of 20 gals./A, unless indicated oth­
erwise. Repeat treatments, where needed, may be applied 
broadcast, band, or interline as recommended, with final appli­
cation prior to close in. 
Aerial Application: Use aerial application only where broadcast 
applications are specified. Unless specified otherwise, apply a 
minimum of 1 gal. of water for each lIb. of product applied per 
acre, but not less than 5 gals. total volume per acre. Avoid 
applications.underconditiOrls where uniform coverage cannot be 
obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur: In· order to

may occur. Use nozzle tips which will minimize atomization or 
spray drift. Use the higher rate for high grass populations. 
Apply up to 2 repeat applications, if needed, at 30-day inter­
vals before close-in. To control alexandergrass (Brachiaria 
plantaginea), apply at the 3-4 leaf stage or befor"e 3 :inches 
tall. For mixed weed infestations, use 1.5 Ibs. of Ev~k BOW 
plus 0.5 lb. acid equivalent of 2,4-D amine per acre and/or 
2 qts. of surfactant, such as X-114 or ACL 209, for each 100

applied at close-in. 
Apply 2.5-5 Ibs. of Evik BOW plus 2.5-5 Ibs. of Karmex BOW 
before sugarcane and weeds emerge. 
A second application at 2.5-5 Ibs. of Evik BOW plus 2.5-5

sugarcane and weeds. A third application at 2.5-:3 Ibs. of 
Evik BOW plUS 2.5-3 Ibs. of Karmex BOw may be appiied prior 
to close-in. . -
For best results when Karmex BOW is used on emerged weeds, 
add a non ionic surfactant to the spray at the rate of 1-2 
qts. per 100 gals. and apply as a directed spray. 
~: Use the minimum preemergence rates on nonirrigated sugar­
