GENERAL INFORHATlON 
PROZINE controls many annual broad leaf and grass weeds in corn and sorghum. 
""" 
It may be applied before or after weeds emerge. The effectiveness of this pro­
duct depends on moisture to move it into the root zone. If weeds develop, a 
shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally result in better weed 
control. Unusually cold, excessively wet, or hot and dry conditions that delay 
germination or extend ,germination over a long period of time can r€duce weed 
control. 
Seedling diseases, cold weather, excessive moisture, deep planting, low or high 
soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or drought can weaken seedlings au~. 
plants and increase the possibility of crop damage from this herbicide. Onder 
these conditions, crop yields can be reduced. : ••••

" 
-" To determine the compatibility of PROZINE with liquid fertilizer, pourthe pro­
duct into a small container of liquid fertilizer in the proportions shown below. 
For different spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the 
ingredients. 
For each pound of PROZINE to be applied per acre, add 1 level teaspoon of the 
product to one pint of liquid fertilizer (assuming a volume of 25 gallons per 
acre). 
After thorough mlx1ng, let stand ~ minutes. If the herbicide/fertilizer com­
bination remains mixed, or can be remixed readilYJ make a slurry with the her­
bicide before adding fertilizer and use the roixturl: only if this test shows it 
is compatible. 
ROTATIONAL CROPS: (1) Do not rotate to any crop except corn or sorghum until 
the following year, as injury may occur. (2) In the High Plains and :ntprmoun­
tain 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 precede other rotational crops. (3) 
Injury may occur to soybeans planted in north-central and northwest Iowa, south­
central and southwest Minnesota, northeast Nebraska, southeast South Dakota, and 
other areas the year following application on soils having a calcareous surface 
layer. (4) In eastern parts of the Dakotas, Kansas, western ~innesota) and 
Nebraska, do not rotate to soybeans if the rate applied to corn sorghum was reore 
than 4 pounds per Acre (or equivalent band application rate) 0r soybean injury 
may occur. (5) Do not plant sugarb~~ts, tobacco, vegetables (including dry 
beans), spring-seeded small grains, or small-seeded legumes ar.d grasses the year 
following application as injury may occur. 
APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
GROUND APPLICATION: Use convel!t~onal ground sprayers equipped with .. "zzles that 
provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain that nozzles are uniformly 
spaced and are tha same size. Calibrate sprayer before use and recalibrate at 
the start of each season and when changing carriers. Unless otherwise spec­
ified, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre for preemeq~ence 
and postemergence a9plications with ground equipment. 
Use a pump with capacity to (l) maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles, (2) provi,de 
sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension, and (3) to p'r:5vide " 
minimum of 20% bypass at all times. Use centrifugal pumps which provit.le "pro- ...... : .. :

tank! full with clean water J nitrogen solution, or complete liquid fertilizer. 
Start agitation. Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and 
creates ~ rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface. Pour product 
directly from container into tank. Let it wet and settle into solution. 
Continue filling tank until 90% full. lncrease agitation if necessary to main­
tain surface action. Finish filling tank. Maintain agitatton to avoid separa­

CORN - FI ELD AND SliEET 
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
Use only where adequate tillage is practiced to provide good soil coverage of 
the corn seed. Plant corn AT LEAST l~ inches deep to ensure good seed coverage. 
PROZINE is most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall or over­
head irrigation is received within 7 days after application. If cultivation is 
necessary because of soil crusting, soil compaction or weed gerlnination before 
rain or irrigation, use shallow tillage (such as rotary hoe), and make certain 
corn seeds are below the tilled area. For maximum effectiveness, wait at least 
7 to 10 days before cultivating early postemergence treatments. 
Field Corn Grown In Minimum Tillage Systems 
PROZINE may be used in field corn in minimum tillage systems where adequate 
tillage is practiced to provide a seedbed without living vegetation and which 
allows for good seed coverage. Plant corn AT LEAST It inches deep to ensure 
good seed coverage. The use of no-till planters in minimum tillage corn under 
conditions which do not allow good soil coverage of the corn seed can result in 
reduced crop stand or injury if PROZINE contacts the germinating corn seed. 
Check equipment to ensure good seed coverage. Apply in 20 or more gallons of 
spray solution per acre. 
PREEMERGENCE (Surface Treatment After Planting) 
Apply PROZINE ~reemergence after planting, but before weeds or crop emerge. 
Apply in water or liquid fertilizer with ground equipment or in water with 
aircraft. Refer to section on application in water or liquid fertilizer for 
liquid fertilizer compatibility determinations. DO NOT INCORPORATE or serious 
corn injury will result. 
EARLY POSTEHERGENCE 
Apply PROZINE after corn emergence but no later than when corn is in the 4-leaf 
stage of gi~owth and when weeds are no more tl. ' I inch high J except for ~~>::as 
panicum w~nch must be no larger than the I to L leaf stage. Apply with g,'ound 
equipment or aircraft in water ONLY. For ground applications, flat fa~ Qot?les 
are preferred. DO NOT apply following PROWL preemergence treatment.

NOTE FOR ALL APPLICATIONS TO CORN: DO NOT graze or feed forage from treated 
areas for 21 days following application. 
FIELD CORN AND GRAIN SORGHUH 
POSTEHERGENCE INCORPORATED APPLICATIONS 
GENERAL INFORHATION: Winter wheat and winter barley may be planted in the fall 
90 days after an application with PROZINE postemergence incorporated in irri­
gated field corn or grain sorghum or 120 days after an application in dry land 
field corn or grain sorghum. The treated crop must be grown to maturity and 
harvested be {ore planting wheat or barley. See GENERAL INFORHATION for comple.te 
rotational instructions. 
PROZINE applied as a postemergence incorporated treatment will control most late 
season annual grasses and certain broadleai weeds in field corn or grain 
sorghum. Treatments can be applied from the 4-inch growth stage to as late as 
the last cultivation (layby) of field co,n or grain sorghum. Treatments will 
not control established weeds. EHERGED WELDS HUST BE DESTROYED BY GULTI~ATION • PRIOR TO APPLICATION. • •• •• • ••••

( 
• must be thoroughly and uniformly incorporated into the soil (l) with 
8 sweep-type or rolling cultivator set to provide thorough incorporation in the 
top 1 inch of sailor (2) with adequate irrigation water or rainfall. For beat 
results, treatments should be incorporated as soon as possible after application 
but incorporation must be completed within 7 days after application. If ade­
quate moisture is not received within 7 days after application, PROZINE must be 
incorporat~d with a sweep-type or rolling cultivator. 
Under situations of-low rainfall or soil moisture) when deep germinating weeds 
such as shattercane or field sandbur are anticipated) mechanical incorporation 
will provide best results. 
If cultivation is needed after application and incorporation, the depth of cut 
should be no deeper than the depth of cut used to incorporate. 
DO NOT APPLY PROZINE in field corn or grain sorghum more than once per crop 
season. 
WEEDS CONTROLLED: When applied as directed, PROZIN~ will control shattercane 
(Sorghum bicolor) and wild proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) in addition to the 
WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED previously listed. 
ADDITIONAL HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS: Postemergence incorporated applications of 
PROZINE can be applied in field corn or grain sorghum previously treated with 
herbicides registered for use in field corn or grain sorghum. Consult the 
labels of those herbicides for suggested treatments, rates to be used, and pre­
cautions 0E restrictions for use in field corn or grain sorghum and for restric­
tions on following crops. 
FIELD CORN 
DO NOT APPLY PROZINE preplant incorporated in field corn as serious crop injury 
can result.
