ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
Cyanazine and atrazine are pesticides which can move (seep or travel) through 
soil and can contaminate groundwater which may be used as drinking water. 
Cyanazine an3 atrazine have been found in groundwater as a result of 
agricultural use. Users are advised not to apply cyanazinc where the water 
table (grolmdwater) is close to the surface and \..'hcrc the soils are very 
permeab]p (i.c., we1l-drained soils such as lOaJllY snnds). Your local 
agricultural aecncics can pt'ovide furthel." information on the type of soil in 
yO\J.r area and the locution of groundwat{'l.".

Atrazine is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to 
water or wetlands. Do not apply ",-here runoff is likely to occur. 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 by cleaning or equipment of disposal of 
wastes. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner 
inconsistent with its labeling. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
STORAGE: Do not contaminate water, food. or feed b) storage or disposal. Po 
not use or store around the home environment. Avoid contact with water. In 
case of spill or leak, soak,.o with sand, earth or synthetic absorbent (do 
not use alkaline gbsorbents) and dispose of wastes in compliance with local, 
State and Federal regulations. 
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: lIastes resulting from the use of this product may be 
dispvsed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.

allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out ot 
smoke. 
GENERAL INFORl!ATION 
BLADEX/Atrazinp (2: 1) BOil Herbicide is a selective preemergence helChicid,· 
p~1ckage mix for the control of annual grasses and broadleaved weeds in field 
corn. The control of grasses is improved with this package mix. 
Consult your local Agricultural Extension Agent for help in determining 
soil type, organic matter content. and the most appropriate herbicirle rate 
for local conditions. 
lIhen BUIDEX/Atrazine (2:1) BOil Herbicid<! is used as directed on this 
label. the user can only plant field corn or rotate from corn to corn or 
sorghwn the following year.

As a prcemcrgence herbicide BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) BOw is activ(> mainly 
through the roots, and therefore its effect on weeds is dependent on adequate 
rainfall to move the herbicide into the root zone. A ~otary hoeing or 
shallow cultivation is recommended if a rainfall or sprinkler irrigation has 
not occurred '.r1ithin about ten days after application of Bl.ADEX/Atrazine (2: 1) 
80\.1. 1-1oisture should be sufficient to wet the top 1. 1/2 to 2 inches of soi 1 
or make the soil too wet to cultivate; for most soils one-half inch of 
moisture sufficient. Under conditions which delay weed germination, such as 
low temperatures, lack ~f soil surface moisture, or when germination extends 
OVer a long period. che effectiveness of the herbicide may be impaired. 
Rotary hoeing or a shallow cultivation may be of benefit under these 
circumstances. If the corn i::> cultivated. tillage should be shallow to 
minimize herbicide dilution in the soil. Should the corn stand be lost due 
to adverse weather conditions t the field can be replanted the same season to 
corn or sorghum. 
BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) SOW is not effective when used preemergence on peat 
or muck soils. Do not use BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80w on sands or loamy sands 
(soils consisting of more than 70% ~and) containing less than 1% orBanic 
matter. BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) SOW should be applied only once per crop 
season. 
Observe all cautions and limitations of labeling of all producLs used in 
mixtures. The effectivenpss of any combinations is generally dependent on 
weed spectrum, soil texture and soil organic matter content. 
APPLiCATION DIRECTIONS 
Gener~l Hixing and Spraying Directions 
Be sure the sprayer tank, boom and nozzles have been thoroughly flush~d 
, . ..'ith clean water, if another pesticide has been used pn:,'.'iously. 
Sufficient jet or mechanical aeitat.ion should bp. provided during tlw 
filling operation and during application. Fill the spray tank at least 
one-half full of clean water and "'hile pump and agitator are running, add th(! 
recommended .,mount of BUIDEX/Atrazine (2:1) SOW to the tank, then fill with 
water to the desired level. (BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) BOW Herbicide can be 
premixed 8S a slurry before adding to the tank.) 
Allow the pump to run several minutes before application to ensure propel 
suspension and mixing of BLADEX/Atrazine (2: 1) SOW. If BLADEX/Atrazine (2: l) 
BOW is allowed to stand in a spray tank or nurse tank for an extended period 
(several hours or overnight), provide good agitation for several minutes 
before application to ensure proper suspension and mixing.

(

Apply with flat fan (even flat fan or band application) or flooding 
nozzle in conjunction with 50-mesh nozzle screens and in-line screens. 
Cal"efully follow the nozzle manufacturer's recommendation for correct nozzle 
height. positioning and spacing. Check for uniform distribution or spray 
droplets. Apply at pressures of 20-40 psi to reduce chemical loss due to 
fine mist drift. 
Check nozzles, pressure, and output regularly to assure proper 
calibration and application. 
Apply the spray solution containing BUIDEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80w evenly to 
the soil surface using 15-30 gallons per acre for ground application. A 
rotary hoeing is recommended for those applications of BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 
80W which are not incorporated at time of treatment or which do not receive 
adequate rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within about 10 deys after 
application. 
Preemergence, Preplant or Preplant Incorporated 
Apply BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W immediaLely before planting, at planting, 
or after planting, but before the crop has emerged. The removal of treated 
soil from seed row prior to or during planting operation may reduc(> the 
effectiveness of this product in the ro~ where preplant applications are 
used. 
Use BlADEX/Atrazine (2.1) SOW at 1.5 to 5 pounds per acre in broadcast 
treatments. (For band application, use proportionately less.) Adjust the 
rate of application for a given soil as closely as possible to the optimum 
rate given in table Preemergence, Preplant or Preplant Incorporated Broadcast 
Application R~tes of BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W on Gorn. 
BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) may be applied preemergence with liquid 
fertilizers. To apply 8U1DEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W with liquid fertilizer fill 
the spray tank at least one half full of liquid fertilizer and add the 
recommended amount of I'.LAl)EX/Atrazine (2: 1) 80W to the tank, then fill with 
liquid fertilizer to the desired level. 8LADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W must be 
premixed in water as a slurry before being added to the fertilizer. 
Sufficient jet or mechanical agitation should be provided dJring the filling 
operation and during application. If the fertilizer requirement is less than 
15 gallons per acre, add sufficient water to increase the volume of the 
mixture to assure adequate volume for even distribution to the soil surface. 
If incorporation of preplant application of the fertilizer mixture is 
desired, use power cultivation equipment set for 2-3 inch depth, or a tandem 
disc set to penetrate 2-4 inches "hUe operating at 4-6 mph. Do not store 
BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W with liquid fertilizer in the sprayer or nurse 
tank.

Check to assure the compatibility of BUDEX/Atrazine (2: 1) 8011 wi~h the 
liquid fertilizer prior to mixing in the spray tank. The follo\o,'ing j.:a test 
is a good indicator of compatibility. Mix proportionate quantities as 
indicated in a one pint jar. Invert jar ten times. Let stand 1/2 hour. If 
any separation or agglomeration has occurred, again invert jar ten times. If 
the mixture resuspends, commercial application is possible.
