|
||
• Product must be used in a manner that will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess
|
||
pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
|
||
• Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to non-target areas. To
|
||
prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
|
||
- Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these
|
||
conditions, the soil surface must first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
|
||
- Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered soils.
|
||
- Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least
|
||
1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To minimize spray drift to non-target areas:
|
||
- Use low pressure application equipment capable of producing a large droplet spray.
|
||
- Do not use nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray.
|
||
- Minimize drift by using sufficient spray volume to ensure adequate coverage with large droplet size sprays.
|
||
- Keep ground-driven spray boom as low as possible above the target surface.
|
||
- Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). Do not
|
||
apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. Avoid application when gusts approach 15 mph.
|
||
- Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to sensitive areas. Avoid spraying during
|
||
conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply during inversion conditions.
|
||
• Do not apply DuPont™ BREAKFREE® NXT to sweet corn as an early postemergence application.
|
||
• Maximum Acetochlor Application Rates Per Calendar Year:
|
||
Maximum annual acetochlor broadcast application rates for corn must not exceed 3.0 pounds active ingredient (3.4 pints
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT) per acre. Note: One pint per acre BREAKFREE® NXT delivers 0.875 pound active ingredient
|
||
acetochlor per acre.
|
||
Rotational Crop Restrictions:
|
||
When tank mixing with other herbicides, follow the most restrictive crop rotation guidelines on the label of each product
|
||
used.
|
||
1. If a crop treated with this product is lost, field corn, seed corn, silage corn, popcorn, sweet corn or milo (sorghum) may
|
||
be replanted immediately. When planting milo (sorghum), only use seed properly treated with a seed protectant or
|
||
safener. Do not exceed a total of 3.0 pounds per acre of active ingredient if additional product is applied.
|
||

|
||
crops (with the exception of wheat) may be planted. Do not graze or harvest rotational cover crops for food or animal feed
|
||
for 18 months following the last application of BREAKFREE® NXT. This prohibition does not apply to wheat, which may
|
||
be planted 4 months following the last application of BREAKFREE® NXT, or to nongrass animal feeds, which may be
|
||
planted 9 months after the last application of BREAKFREE® NXT.
|
||
Weed Resistance Management Guidelines
|
||
Acetochlor, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 15 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system
|
||
of the Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population can contain plants naturally resistant to Group 15
|
||
herbicides. Such resistant weed plants may not be effectively managed using Group 15 herbicides but may be effectively
|
||
managed utilizing another herbicide from a different Group and/or by using cultural or mechanical practices. However, any
|
||
herbicide mode of action classification by itself may not adequately address specific weeds that are resistant to specific
|
||
herbicides. Consult your DuPont representative, state cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other
|
||
qualified authorities to determine appropriate actions for treating specific resistant weeds.
|
||
Best Management Practices
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or
|
||
more herbicides is recommended. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple herbicides with
|
||
different modes of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices.
|
||
Research has demonstrated that using full labeled rates and following directions for use is important to delay the selection
|
||
for resistance. Scouting after a herbicide application is important because it can facilitate the early identification of weed
|
||
shifts and/or weed resistance and thus provide direction on future weed management practices. One of the best ways to
|
||
contain resistant populations is to implement measures to avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to proliferate
|
||
vegetatively. Cleaning equipment between sites and avoiding movement of plant material between sites will greatly aid in
|
||
retarding the spread of resistant weed seed.
|
||
General principles of herbicide resistance management
|
||
1. Apply integrated weed management practices. Use multiple herbicide modes-of-action with overlapping weed
|
||
spectrums in rotation, sequences, or mixtures.
|
||
2. Use the full specified herbicide rate and proper application timing for the hardest to control weed species present in the
|
||
field.
|
||
3. Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has been achieved. Avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed
|
||
or to proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
4. Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
|
||
For annual cropping situations also consider the following:
|
||
• Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using a burndown treatment or tillage in combination with a
|
||
preemergence residual herbicide as appropriate.
|
||
• Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation, where appropriate.
|
||
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop competitiveness
|
||
• Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as possible.
|
||
Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular weed to your DuPont
|
||
representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.

Application Directions - Corn
|
||
Carriers and Spray Volume
|
||
Liquids: Either water or liquid fertilizers such as solutions, slurries, or suspensions may be used as liquid carriers. If fluid
|
||
fertilizers are used, a physical compatibility with these must be done before combining in the spray tank. Even if
|
||
DuPont™ BREAKFREE® NXT is physically compatible with a fluid fertilizer, constant agitation is necessary to maintain
|
||
a uniform mixture during application.
|
||
Apply in a minimum broadcast spray volume of 10 gallons per acre using boom equipment for ground applications. Use
|
||
low pressure nozzles designed for application of herbicides. Use sufficient operating pressure to produce the desired spray
|
||
pattern for the nozzle (15 to 40 psi) and follow manufacturer's instructions for nozzle spacing and operating height to
|
||
ensure uniform spray distribution at the soil surface. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens, if needed.
|
||
Dry Bulk Fertilizer: BREAKFREE® NXT may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer and applied as the fertilizer is
|
||
spread. Use at least 200 lb of dry bulk fertilizer per acre.
|
||
Adding to Spray Tank
|
||
The spray tank must be clean, thoroughly rinsed, and decontaminated before adding either BREAKFREE® NXT alone or
|
||
in tank mix combinations. If water is used as the carrier, use clean water. All return lines to the spray tank must discharge
|
||
below the liquid level.
|
||
Used Alone: If BREAKFREE® NXT is used alone, add the specified amount to the spray tank before the tank is half filled,
|
||
then add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation to ensure thorough mixing and to maintain a
|
||
uniform spray mixture during application.
|
||
Tank Mixed: If a tank mixture is used, it is recommended that a small-scale test of compatibility be done before actual tank
|
||
mixing.
|
||
Water Carrier
|
||
Allow time for complete dispersion/mixing before adding another product to the spray mixture. Add products to the tank
|
||
mixture in the following order:
|
||
• To start, add one-half of the required amount of water to the spray tank. Begin agitation.
|
||
• Products in water soluble packaging. Important: Allow time for complete dispersion.

Note: For all tank mixtures, maintain agitation during mixing and throughout application to ensure spray mixture remains
|
||
uniformly suspended.
|
||
Application Timing and Methods
|
||
For the optimum period of effective weed control during the time most critical to corn production, preplant application of
|
||
DuPont™ BREAKFREE® NXT herbicide should occur as close as possible to planting. Preemergence applications should
|
||
occur as close as possible to planting, but prior to weed emergence; this product will not control emerged weeds present at
|
||
application. Postemergence applications should occur prior to weed emergence or in tank mix combination with a product
|
||
that controls emerged weeds. Note: Do not apply BREAKFREE® NXT to sweet corn as an early postemergence
|
||
application.
|
||
Early Preplant Surface: On medium and fine textured soils (see Table 1), BREAKFREE® NXT and certain tank mixtures
|
||
may be applied up to 45 days before planting field corn or silage corn. Split applications can be made 30 to 45 days prior to
|
||
planting with 60 percent of the specified broadcast rate applied initially and the remaining 40 percent applied at planting.
|
||
Applications made less than 30 days prior to planting can be made either as a split or as a single application. If weeds are
|
||
present at the time of application, apply this product in a tank mixture with an appropriate contact herbicide. Observe
|
||
directions for use, precautions, and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. During the planting operation, be
|
||
careful not to move untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out of the row, as weed control may be reduced.
|
||
Preplant Incorporation: BREAKFREE® NXT and certain tank mixes may be mechanically incorporated into the top 2
|
||
inches of the soil with field cultivators, discs, or spring tooth harrows any time up to 14 days prior to planting. Improper
|
||
incorporation, excessive crop residues, or poor soil tilth may result in erratic, streaked, or otherwise unsatisfactory weed
|
||
control. Do not mix BREAKFREE® NXT deeper than 2 inches into the soil and avoid moving or shaping soil after
|
||
incorporation, as weed control may be reduced.
|
||
Preemergence Surface: BREAKFREE® NXT and certain tank mixes may be applied to the soil surface as a broadcast or
|
||
banded application. Precipitation or sprinkler irrigation of at least 0.25 inch is required to bring BREAKFREE® NXT into
|
||
contact with germinating seeds. If rain or sprinkler irrigation does not occur within 7 days after application, weed control
|
||
may be improved by using a rotary hoe or similar equipment to incorporate the herbicide. Incorporation equipment should
|
||
be run at a shallow depth to avoid disturbance of germinating corn seed. Erratic weed control resulting from exposure of
|
||
untreated soil may occur if surface soil is moved or reshaped after incorporation.
|
||
Postplant-Preemergence: BREAKFREE® NXT may be applied after planting but prior to corn emergence. If rain or
|
||
sprinkler irrigation does not occur within 7 days after application, weed control may be improved by using a rotary hoe or
|
||
similar equipment to shallowly incorporate the herbicide. Incorporation equipment should be run at a shallow depth to
|
||
prevent disturbance of the germinating corn. Erratic weed control resulting from exposure of untreated soil may occur if
|
||
surface soil is moved or reshaped during incorporation.
|
||
Banding-Preemergence: BREAKFREE® NXT may be applied in a 10- to 14-inch band after corn planting but prior to
|
||
emergence. If rain or sprinkler irrigation does not occur within 7 days after application, weed control may be improved by
|
||
shallow incorporation using a rotary hoe or similar equipment. Do not disturb the germinating corn seed. Erratic weed
|
||
control resulting from exposure of untreated soil may occur if surface soil is moved or reshaped during incorporation.
|
||
Early Postemergence: BREAKFREE® NXT may be applied early postemergence to corn up to 11 inches tall. Application
|
||
must be made prior to weed seedling emergence or in a tank mixture with a herbicide that controls the emerged weeds.
|
||
Read and follow restrictions and directions on tank mix product labels.
|
||
DO NOT apply postemergence to sweet corn.
|
||
DO NOT make postemergence applications using sprayable liquid fertilizer as the carrier because severe crop injury may
|
||
occur.
|
||
Sprinkler Irrigation: Do not apply BREAKFREE® NXT by sprinkler irrigation unless otherwise directed by
|
||
approved supplemental labeling in the possession of the user at the time of application. Use a sprinkler system to
|
||
incorporate BREAKFREE® NXT after application. After BREAKFREE® NXT has been applied, a sprinkler irrigation
|
||
system set to deliver 0.25 to 0.75 inch of water per acre may be used to incorporate the product. Using more than 0.75 inch
|
||
of water could result in reduced performance. On sandy soil low in organic matter, use no more than 0.5 inch of water. Do
|
||
not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate BREAKFREE® NXT.
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
Fall Application - For use only in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, north of Route 91 in
|
||
Nebraska, and north of Route 136 in Illinois. Apply after September 30, when the sustained soil temperature at 4-inch
|
||
depth is less than 55oF, but before ground freezes. Use on medium and fine textured soils with greater than 2.5% organic
|
||
matter. Only corn may be planted the following spring.
|
||
Ground may be tilled before or after application. Do not exceed 2-inch incorporation depth if tilled after application.
|
||
If a spring application is made, the total rate of the fall plus spring application must not exceed the maximum labeled rate
|
||
for corn grown on that soil.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Cultivation should be delayed as long as possible. If weeds emerge, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally
|
||
result in improved weed control. If DuPont™ BREAKFREE® NXT was incorporated, cultivate to a depth of less than half
|
||
the depth of incorporation.
|
||
If cultivation is necessary due to soil crusting or compaction, adjust equipment to run shallow and minimize soil
|
||
movement. This will decrease the possibility of diluting or moving the herbicide from the weed control zone.
|
||
Soil Texture and Organic Matter
|
||
The use rate of BREAKFREE® NXT is determined by a combination of two factors, soil texture and organic matter, which
|
||
must be determined prior to application. Different soil textures are grouped into three textural classes (coarse, medium, and
|
||
fine) as outlined in Table 1. Soil texture and organic matter content of the soil may be determined from soil survey
|
||
information and/or by laboratory analysis and must be known in order to select the proper rate from Table 2.
|
||

|
||
Use Rates for Conventional Tillage Systems
|
||
Table 2: Use Rates for BREAKFREE® NXT by Soil Texture and Organic Matter Content in Conventional Tillage
|
||
Systems.
|
||
The following use rates are for preplant incorporated, preemergence, and early postemergence applications (see Application
|
||
Timing and Methods). Consult Table 3 if reduced or no-till applications are made or application is made more than 14 days
|
||
prior to planting under conventional tillage.
|
||
*Use the higher rate in the rate range in areas of heavy weed infestation.
|
||
**On soils with 6 to 10 percent organic matter, use 2.5 to 3.4 pints per acre. On soils with more than 10 percent organic matter, use 3.4
|
||
pints per acre.
|
||
Use Rates for Reduced Tillage Systems or Early Preplant Applications in Conventional Tillage
|
||
Systems
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT may be used in reduced and no-till systems or as an early preplant application (more than 14 days
|
||
prior to planting) in conventional tillage systems. Single applications may occur up to 30 days before planting but prior to
|
||
weed emergence; application on coarse soils should not be made more than 14 days prior to planting. Optimal weed control
|
||
will be obtained when applications are made as close as possible to planting but before the weeds emerge. Split applications
|
||
of BREAKFREE® NXT may be used; apply 60% of the specified rate prior to weed emergence and up to 45 days before
|
||
planting and the remaining 40% at or immediately following planting but before crop emergence. If weeds are present at

Weeds Controlled
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT, applied as directed in this label, will provide control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 4.
|
||
Partially controlled weeds will be severely stunted, or experience reduced height, vigor, or population compared to
|
||
untreated areas. Depending on the infestation level or density, a follow-up treatment with another registered herbicide may
|
||
be needed to provide complete control.
|
||
Additional weeds may be controlled with tank mixes. See the Tank Mix Combinations section for specified tank mix
|
||
combinations and the additional weeds controlled.

3. Use 2.5 to 3.4 pints per acre applied alone or in tank mixtures and apply preplant incorporated only for control on medium- a nd fine-
|
||
textured soils.
|
||
4. Best control is achieved when DuPont™ BREAKFREE® NXT is applied within 5 days of planting and rainfall occurs shortly after
|
||
application or mechanical incorporation is used to activate the herbicide. If it does not rain within 7 days, shallow cultivation will
|
||
enhance activity. Excessive rainfall after application may reduce control. Under adverse weather conditions and/or heavy
|
||
infestations, cultivation or application of a registered postemergence herbicide may be needed.
|
||
5. Use the higher rate in the application rate range or tank mix with appropriate broadleaf herbicide.
|
||
Tank Mix Combinations
|
||
Additional weeds may be controlled with tank mixes of BREAKFREE® NXT and other products labeled for use on field
|
||
corn, production seed corn, silage corn, sweet corn and popcorn. Tank mix combinations may be used in either
|
||
conventional, reduced, or no-till systems and may be applied by the same methods and at the same application timing as
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT herbicide unless otherwise specified in the tank mix product label.
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT may be tank mixed with any other herbicide labeled for use on corn provided the compatibility of the
|
||
tank mix is verified by a jar test and tank mixing with BREAKFREE® NXT is not prohibited by the label of the tank mix
|
||
product. The compatibility of a tank mixture can be determined by mixing the ingredients of the herbicide mixture in their
|
||
relative proportions in a glass jar as described for fluid fertilizer mixtures by substituting water for fluid fertilizer. Refer to
|
||
the label of the tank mix product for applicable use directions, precautions and limitations, including additional weeds
|
||
controlled. Do not exceed application rates on the respective product labels. Do not tank mix with another pesticide
|
||
product that contains the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank mix partner specifies the
|
||
maximum dosages that may be used.
|
||
When tank mixing BREAKFREE® NXT with atrazine, do not exceed the maximum allowable rate of atrazine in
|
||
your county or state. In some atrazine management areas, atrazine is more restricted. Consult your county
|
||
extension office or state university for further information.
|
||
For all applications, do not exceed the maximum rate of acetochlor as specified in the Maximum Acetochlor
|
||
Application Rate Per Calendar Year section of this label.
|
||
Use of Spray Adjuvants
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT is a preemergence herbicide for which spray adjuvants have little or no influence on performance.
|
||
However, several herbicides used in tank mixtures with BREAKFREE® NXT require use of adjuvants to aid in the
|
||
burndown of emerged weeds. Use only those adjuvants recommended on the label of the tank mix product and approved
|
||
for use in growing crops. Surfactants and/or low rate liquid fertilizers (28%, 30% or 32% UAN) or ammonium sulfate
|
||
(AMS) adjuvants may be used with tank mixes applied preplant or preemergence to the crop.
|
||

|
||
Note: DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as the carrier when BREAKFREE® NXT is applied postemergence to corn as severe
|
||
injury may result. The addition of liquid fertilizers used as adjuvants with BREAKFREE® NXT tank mixes applied
|
||
10
|
||
|
||
postemergence to corn under environmental stress conditions may result in significant crop injury and should not be used if
|
||
the risk of crop injury is unacceptable.
|
||
When tank mixing, read and follow label use directions and precautions of the tank mix product.
|
||
Miscanthus and Other Non-food Perennial Bioenergy Crops
|
||
For weed control in Miscanthus and other non-food perennial bioenergy crops, apply DuPont™ BREAKFREE® NXT
|
||
herbicide at 1.3-1.7 pints per acre after the crop has been transplanted or after fully emerged to a height of at least 2-3
|
||
inches.
|
||
Up to two applications of BREAKFREE® NXT herbicide may be made each year. The total amount of this product
|
||
applied each year must not exceed 3.4 pints per acre.
|
||
Restrictions:
|
||
Do not allow the Miscanthus or other non-food perennial bioenergy crop treated with BREAKFREE® NXT herbicide to be
|
||
grazed or used as animal feed.
|
||
Procedure for Testing the Compatibility of BREAKFREE® NXT and Tank Mixes with Fluid Fertilizers
|
||
Since fluid fertilizers vary, the following procedure is suggested for determining whether BREAKFREE® NXT herbicide
|
||
may be combined with a specific fluid fertilizer for spray tank application.
|
||
Materials Needed:
|
||
• BREAKFREE® NXT and any tank mix products
|
||
• Fluid fertilizer to be used
|
||
• Adjuvant for fertilizer tank mix: Use any adjuvant cleared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180.1001 to
|
||
improve the compatibility of BREAKFREE® NXT with fluid fertilizers. The adjuvant that provides the best
|
||
emulsification depends upon the specific fertilizer under consideration.
|
||
• Two 1 quart, wide mouth glass jars with lid or stopper
|
||
• Measuring spoons (a 25 ml pipette or graduated cylinder provides more accurate measurement)
|
||
• Measuring cup, 8 oz (257 ml)
|
||
Procedure:
|
||
1. Pour a pint (about 473 ml) of the fluid fertilizer into each of the quart jars.
|
||
2. Add BREAKFREE® NXT and any tank mix combination to the jars. The order of addition is wettable powders first
|
||
with mixing, followed by flowables with mixing and the ECs last. The rate of wettable powders and dry flowables is 1
|
||
1/2 teaspoon per pound of product per acre to be applied. ECs should be added at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon for each pint
|
||
per acre to be applied. Premixing the wettable powders in 1 oz of water before adding to the pint of fluid fertilizer will
|
||
improve the compatibility of the final mixture.
|
||
3. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) adjuvant to one of the jars, label it as "with," and mix. The rate of 1/2 teaspoon per pint is
|
||
equal to 3 pints of adjuvant per 100 gallons of fluid fertilizer.
|
||
4. Close both jars with lids or stoppers and mix the contents by turning the jars upside down 10 times.
|
||
5. Inspect the surface and body of the mixtures-
|
||
(a) Immediately after completing the jar inversions
|
||
(b) After allowing the jars to stand undisturbed for 30 minutes
|
||
(c) And then again after turning the jars upside down 10 times after the 30 minute inspection
|
||
Evaluation:
|
||
If either mixture remains uniform for 30 minutes, the combination may be used. Should either mixture separate after 30
|
||
minutes, but readily remix uniformly with 10 jar inversions, the mixture can be used if adequate agitation is maintained in
|
||
the tank. If the mixture with adjuvant is satisfactory but the one without adjuvant is not, be sure to use the adjuvant in the
|
||
spray tank. Add the adjuvant first at a rate of 3 pints per 100 gallons of fluid fertilizer. Foaming may be minimized by
|
||
using moderate agitation. If non-dispersible oil, sludge, or clumps of solids form in the mixtures, the combination
|
||
should not be used.
|
||
Dry Bulk Fertilizer Impregnation
|
||
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and application are the
|
||
responsibility of the individual and/or company selling BREAKFREE® NXT, BREAKFREE® NXT fertilizer mixtures.
|
||
11
|
||
|
||
When applying DuPont™ BREAKFREE® NXT alone or in tank mixes with dry bulk fertilizers, follow all directions for
|
||
use and precautions on the respective tank mix product labels regarding use rates, soil texture, application methods, and
|
||
rotational restrictions. Use a minimum of 200 lb of dry bulk fertilizer per acre.
|
||
Approved Dry Fertilizer Ingredients for Use with BREAKFREE® NXT
|
||
(1)
|
||
(1) Do not impregnate on fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate.
|
||
(2) Some ureas may be phytotoxic when high rates are applied to corn. Use only urea rates known to be safe for corn
|
||
application.
|
||
For impregnating pesticides on dry fertilizers, use suitable mixers equipped with suitable spraying equipment. The spray
|
||
nozzles should be positioned inside the mixer to provide uniform spray coverage of the tumbling fertilizer.
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT should be sprayed uniformly onto the fertilizer using a fine spray pattern. Tank mix components
|
||
may be applied as separate ingredients with powders and dry flowables added first or they may be mixed in a slurry in the
|
||
proper ratio and added jointly. BREAKFREE® NXT may also be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer in the field while the
|
||
fertilizer is being spread using a pneumatic applicator equipped to impregnate herbicides.
|
||
The following table provides a reference to determine the amount of BREAKFREE® NXT to be mixed per ton of dry bulk
|
||
fertilizer for a range of herbicide rates.
|
||
To determine the amount of BREAKFREE® NXT needed for other rates of fertilizer, use this formula:
|
||
BREAKFREE® NXT (pints/acre) X 2000 = Pints of BREAKFREE® NXT
|
||
Pounds of fertilizer/acre per ton of fertilizer
|
||
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, use of a drying agent is required to provide a dry, free-flowing mixture. For
|
||
mixtures to be used in spinning-disc applicators, Micro-Cel E calcium silicate powder (Manville, Filtration & Minerals) is
|
||
recommended for use as a drying agent. Mixtures to be used in pneumatic applicators should use Micro-Cel E or Agsorb
|
||
16/30 RVM-MS granular clay (Oil-Dri Corporation). The drying agents should be added separately and uniformly to the
|
||
prepared pesticide/fertilizer mixture, in a quantity that is sufficient to provide a suitable free-flowing mixture. Generally,
|
||
less than 2% Micro-Cel E or 5% Agsorb 16/30 RVM-MS by weight is required.
|
||
Restriction: To avoid potential for explosion, do not impregnate BREAKFREE® NXT on ammonium sorbate nitrate,
|
||
potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate fertilizer or fertilizer blends. Do not impregnate on a single (0-20-0) or triple (0-46-0)
|
||
super phosphate. Do not attempt to impregnate BREAKFREE® NXT on agricultural limestone as the herbicide will not be
|
||
adequately absorbed.
