3.2 Environmental Hazards
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product is toxic to plants
and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms,
including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site . Protect the forage
and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to
minimize spray drift .
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
information on the type of soil in your area and the location of ground water .
Ground water contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of
permanent liquid bulk storage sites with an impermeable material .
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates . 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 washwaters .
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY:
Acetochlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain
conditions as a result of label use . This chemical may leach into groundwater
if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table
is shallow .
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY:
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater . This
is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water .
This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water
via runoff for several weeks after application .
A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this
product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and
springs will reduce the potential loading of acetochlor from runoff water and
sediment . Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications
when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours .

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Ground Boom Applications
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no
more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy .
• For all applications, applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser
spray droplet size (ASABE S572) .
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the
application site .
• Do not apply during temperature inversions .
• User must maintain a 15 foot (4 .6 meter) in-field downwind buffer
(in the direction in which the wind is blowing) from the edge of
streams and rivers, as well as high-tide line for all estuarine/marine
environments .
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE
S572) for all applications .
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the
application site .
• Do not apply during temperature inversions .
• User must maintain a 15 foot (4 .6 meter) in-field downwind buffer (in
the direction in which the wind is blowing) from the edge of streams and
rivers, as well as high-tide line for all estuarine/marine environments .
Spray Drift Advisories
• THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT .
• BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS .
• IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets . Use the largest
droplets that provide target pest control . While applying larger droplets will
reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made
improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions .
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are
produced will reduce spray drift . Use the highest practical spray
volume for the application . If a greater spray volume is needed,
consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate .
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the
nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size .
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended
application . Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift .
• BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
Use the lo west boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that
will provide uniform coverage . For ground equipment, the boom should
remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce .
• SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can r educe spray drift . Consider
using shielded sprayers . Verify that the shields are not interfering with the
uniform deposition of the spray on the target area .
• TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dr y conditions, use larger droplets to
reduce effects of evaporation .
• TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion . Temperature inversions
are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common
on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind . The presence of
an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke
from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator . Smoke that layers
and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions)
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing .
• WIND
Drift potential gener ally increases with wind speed . AVOID APPLICATIONS
DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS . Applicators need to be familiar with local
wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift .
• Boom-less Ground Applications:
Setting nozzles at the lo west effective height will help to reduce the potential
for spray drift .
DO NOT aerially apply this product unless otherwise directed by approved

6.0 WEED RESIST ANCE MANAGEMENT
GROUP
GROUP
5
15
HERBICIDE
HERBICIDE
ATRAZINE
ACETOCHLOR
For resistance management, please note that DEGREE XTRA HERBICIDE
contains both a Group 5 Atrazine and a Group 15 Acetochlor herbicide . Any
weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 5 and/
or Group 15 herbicides . The resistant individuals may dominate the weed
population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same fields .
Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed .
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of DEGREE XTRA HERBICIDE or other Group 5 or Group 15
herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons
with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field .
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is
permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is
available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the
target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner . Consult
your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to
which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance .
• Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that
includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use
and crop rotation, and that considers tillage ( or other mechanical control
methods), cultural ( e . g . , higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer
application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological
(weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices .
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early
signs of resistance development . Indicators of possible herbicide resistance
include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the
herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent
weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed
species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the
same species . If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production
in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or
by a mechanical method including hoeing or tillage . Prevent movement
of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage
equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed .
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this
product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management
strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available .
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for
additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-
management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes .
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer
CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937) . You can also contact your
pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance .
7.0 SOIL TEXTURE

8.2 Sprayer Compatibility
Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled mixtures of
this product with water carrier or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing
small proportional quantities in advance . See the “STANDARD SPRAYABLE
FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST” section in this label to determine the
compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures recommended for
use with sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier .
Mix this product or labeled tank mixtures of this product with the appropriate
carrier as follows:
1 . Place a 20- to 35-mesh scr een or wetting basket over filling port .
2 . Through the scr een, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with appropriate
carrier .
3 . If a compatibility agent is necessar y to improve mixing or to prevent
the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while
agitating add it to the carrier already in the tank . Use only compatibility
agents cleared by FDA for this use . Read and follow all directions for use,
cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the selected
compatibility agent label . Check for adequate agitation .
4 . If a wettable po wder or dry flowable formulation is used, make a slurry with
water, and add it slowly through the screen into the tank . Continue agitation .
5 . If a flo wable formulation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank .
Mixing and compatibility may be improved when flowable is premixed one
part flowable with one part water and added slowly to the tank in diluted
form .
6 . Add this product slo wly through the screen into the tank . Mixing and
compatibility may be improved when this product is prediluted with two
parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form .
7 . Complete filling the spr ayer tank with carrier . If a Roundup ® agricultural
herbicide or Gramoxone TM brand herbicide is used, add the required
amount near the end of the filling process . Remove hose from tank
immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the water source .
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed .
NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough agitation is
required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed . Keep bypass
line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming . Screen size in nozzle or
line strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh . Carefully select proper nozzle to
avoid spraying a fine mist . Check for even distribution of spray droplets . For best
results with ground application, use flat-fan or whirl-chamber nozzle . To reduce
loss of chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at pressures less than 40 psi .
8.3 Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer
Compatibility T est
Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer
or the components may separate too quickly to make their combined use of
practical value . This may be due to certain characteristics of the different fluid
fertilizers . A simple test using small quantities of the components is suggested
to provide compatibility potential . The test follows:
A. Materials Required For A Compatibility Test
1 . T wo one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked “with” and “without”) .
2 . TEAspoons (for a mor e exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (mL) pipette or
graduated cylinder is desirable) .
3 . Spr ayable fluid fertilizer to be tested .
4 . The herbicide c hemicals to be mixed .
5 . A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuv ant is to help keep the
fertilizer and crop protection chemical in suspension, if this assistance is
needed) .

B. Procedure
1 . Add one pint of the spr ayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other
herbicide carrier to each jar marked “with” and “without” .
Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer
To Two Quart Jars
2 . T o the jar marked “with”, add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1 . 2 milliliters of a
suitable compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten seconds
to mix . (1/4 TEAspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per
100 gallons of liquid fertilizer . )
To Jar Marked “WITH”
Add Compatibility Agent
And Shake To Mix
3 . T o each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s) . If more than one
is used, add them separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables
added first, flowables second and liquid last . Shake gently five to ten
seconds after each addition .

HERBICIDE RATE/ACRE Level TEAspoons
Wettable 1 pound = 1 .5
Powders 2 pounds = 3 .0
or 3 pounds = 4 .5
Dry Flowables 4 pounds = 6 .0
5 pounds = 7 .5
HERBICIDE RATE/ACRE Level TEAspoons Milliliters
Emulsifiable 1 pint = 0 .5 or 2 .4
Concentrates or 1 quart = 1 .0 or 4 .7
Flowables or 2 quarts = 2 .0 or 9 .5
Liquids or 3 quarts = 3 .0 or 14 .2
Solutions 1 gallon = 4 .0 or 19 .0
5 quarts = 5 .0 or 23 .8
This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre with the
maximum labeled rate of herbicide . For changes in spray volume or herbicide
rate, make appropriate changes in the ingredients of the test . Regardless
of spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to two
or three pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1 .2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8
TEAspoon or 1 .8 milliliters per pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons
of liquid fertilizer .
C. Obser vations and Decisions
1 . If the herbicide(s) and the spr ayable fluid fertilizer are compatible .
2 . If a compatibility agent is necessar y .
Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the
formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates . Observe if the
herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid fertilizer but remains
as small oily particles in the solution .
If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar “with” the
compatibility agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not
be used together in the same spray tank .
If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar “without” the adjuvant
but not in the jar “with” adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is
recommended .
Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for
one-half hour . If the separate layers of liquid fertilizer and additives can be
resuspended by shaking, commercial application is possible . An emulsifiable
concentrate normally will go to the top after standing; wettable powders will
either settle to the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon
the density of the fertilizers .
If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing test
without having to use a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for
the premixing . If it is not compatible without the compatibility agent, the
herbicide(s) should be premixed with water before adding to the spray tank .

10.0 APPLIC ATION TIMING AND METHODS
10.1 Early Preplant Surface Application
This product and some labeled tank mixtures of this product may be applied
in no-till and other conservation tillage systems before weeds emerge and 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 recommended
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 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 .
10.2 Preplant Incorporation Application
This product and many of the labeled tank mixtures may be mixed into the
upper 1-inch of soil using shallow incorporation equipment any time within
14 days prior to planting . Apply the recommended treatment rate to the soil
surface as a broadcast application . Either existing soil moisture or subsequent
precipitation or irrigation is required to bring incorporated herbicide
treatments into contact with germinating weed seedlings . Irrigation within
10 days following application may improve weed control . If weeds emerge
after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve
performance but only cultivate if rainfall or irrigation does not occur within 10
to 14 days after application .
10.3 Preemergence Surface Application
This product and all labeled tank mixtures may be applied to the soil
surface after planting and prior to either crop or weed emergence . Apply
within 5 days of last preplant tillage . If weeds emerge after treatment, or if
treatment is applied more than 5 days after last preplant tillage, rotary hoe
or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance . Precipitation or
overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move the herbicide
treatment into the weed germination zone . The amount of precipitation or
overhead sprinkler irrigation required depends on existing soil mixture, soil
type and percent organic matter content, but 1/2 to 3/4 inch is normally
adequate . Performance is improved when moisture is received within 7 days
after application and prior to weed emergence . High intensity or excessive
rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control .
10.4 Postemergence Surface Application
This product and certain tank mixtures may be applied postemergence until
corn reaches 11 inches in height or grain sorghum reaches 11 inches (5 to
6 leaf stage) in height . Application must be made prior to weed seedling
emergence or in a tank mixture that controls emerged weeds . Read and
follow all restrictions and directions on tank mix product labels . Refer to
the specific treatment intended in the “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” section of the
label to determine if postemergence applications to corn or grain sorghum
are recommended and determine the proper weed and crop growth stage
limitations . Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after
application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone to
control weeds that have not emerged . The amount of precipitation or irrigation
required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and percent organic
matter content, but 1/2 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate . If weeds emerge after
treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate to improve performance .
Do not apply postemergence to sweet corn .
NOTE: Postemergence application of this product in liquid fertilizer carriers
can result in crop injury . Some leaf burn may occur on corn . DO NOT apply
if air temperatures are expected to reach 85 degrees F within 24 hours after
application . Surfactants, crop oil or other additives are not recommended
unless specified in the tank mix instructions . If applying postemergence in
liquid fertilizer carriers, APPLY TO FIELD CORN ONLY .
10.5 Cultivation Information
Delay cultivation after application for as long as possible unless weeds or
grasses emerge . Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe immediately if weeds
or grasses emerge . If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting or
compaction, set equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil movement to
avoid dilution or displacement of the herbicide treatment . If a band application
is used and weeds have emerged in the treated band, set cultivator to throw
soil into the row covering the band .

brand herbicide and/or 2,4-D . See detailed instructions for tank mixes with
Princep or Pursuit in Section 12 .
Apply the recommended tank mixtures with a Roundup agricultural herbicide
or 2,4-D (amine or low volatile ester) in 10 to 20 gallons of water or 10 to 60
gallons of nitrogen solution per acre, or the tank mixtures with Gramoxone
brand herbicide in 20 to 60 gallons of water or clear liquid fertilizer per acre
immediately before, during or after planting, but BEFORE CROP EMERGENCE .
As density of stubble, crop residue or weeds increase, spray gallonage
and rate should be increased within the application rate ranges to ensure
complete coverage . In the absence of emerged vegetation, delete the Roundup
agricultural herbicide, Gramoxone or 2,4-D portion of these tank mixtures .
12.2 Control or Suppression of Emerged Weeds
ATTENTION: AVOID DRIFT—EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING
THESE TANK MIXTURES TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND
CROPS . Do not allow spray mist to drift since even minute quantities of spray
can cause severe damage or destruction to nearby crops, plants or other
areas on which treatment is not intended . Do not apply when winds are gusty
or in excess of 5 miles per hour or when other conditions, including lesser
wind velocities, will allow drift to occur . When spraying, avoid combinations
of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist) which are
more likely to drift .

12.2.1 Roundup Agricultural Herbicides
Annual Weeds
Apply a Roundup agricultural herbicide in these tank mixtures at the proper
rate for the weed per the label instructions .
Perennial Weeds
At normal application rates in minimum tillage systems, perennial weeds may
not be at the proper stage of growth for control . Use of full labeled rates of
Roundup agricultural herbicides, in the mixtures above and under these
conditions will provide top kill and reduce competition from emerged perennial
grasses and broadleaf weeds .
USE OF THIS MIXTURE FOR BERMUDAGRASS OR JOHNSONGRASS CONTROL
IS NOT RECOMMENDED .
NOTE: When using these tank mixtures, do not exceed labeled maximum rates .
Ammonium Sulfate
The addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may increase the
performance of Roundup agricultural herbicide tank mixtures on emerged
annual weeds under adverse growing conditions . When using ammonium
sulfate, add 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 17 pounds per 100
gallons of water . Ammonium sulfate should be added to the water in the spray
tank and completely dissolved prior to adding the herbicide or surfactant . Do
not mix ammonium sulfate in fluid fertilizer solutions . The equivalent rate of
ammonium sulfate in a liquid formulation may also be used .
If ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray tank, add slowly with
agitation . Adding too quickly may clog outlet lines . Nozzle tip plugging may
result from the use of low quality ammonium sulfate . To determine quality,
perform a jar test by adding 1/3 cup of ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water
and agitate for one minute . If undissolved sediment is observed, predissolve
the ammonium sulfate in water and filter prior to adding to the spray tank .
Surfactants
Nonionic surfactants that are labeled for use with herbicides may be used with
some Roundup agricultural herbicides, check specific label for restrictions . Do
not reduce rates of Roundup agricultural herbicides when adding surfactant .
Use 0 .5 percent surfactant concentration (2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray
solution) when using surfactants that contain at least 50 percent active
ingredient or a 1 percent surfactant concentration (4 quarts per 100 gallons
of spray solution) for those surfactants containing less than 50 percent active
ingredient . Read and carefully observe surfactant cautionary statements and
other information appearing on the surfactant label .
12.2.2 Gramoxone Brand Herbicides
When used as directed, Gramoxone brand herbicides in a labeled tank mixture
control many emerged annual weeds and suppresses many emerged perennial
weeds .
Broadcast Treatment
Apply Gramoxone brand herbicides in these tank mixtures immediately before,
during or after planting but BEFORE CROP EMERGENCE . As density of stubble,
crop residue or weeds increase, spray gallonage should be increased within
the application rate range for complete coverage . Add a nonionic spreader
surfactant (approved for use on crops) containing at least 75 percent
surfactant active agent at 8 ounces per 100 gallons of diluted spray . REFER
TO THE SPECIFIC GRAMOXONE BRAND HERBICIDE LABEL FOR PRECAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS .
12.2.3 2,4-D
When used as directed, 2,4-D in labeled tank mixtures controls many emerged
annual and perennial broadleaf weeds . For emerged weeds controlled, see the
“WEEDS CONTROLLED” section of the label for 2,4-D .
Broadcast Treatment
Apply 1 to 2 pints of 2,4-D (amine or low volatile ester) in the recommended
tank mixtures . Applications should be made 7 to 14 days before planting or 3 to
5 days after planting but BEFORE CORN EMERGES . As density of stubble, crop
residue or weeds increase, spray gallonage should be increased within the
application rate range for complete coverage .
DO NOT use 2,4-D on light, sandy soils, or where soil moisture is inadequate
for normal weed growth . Observe all precautions and limitations on the 2,4-D
label booklet .
12.3 Early Preplant Application
If emerged weeds are present at the time of treatment, a Roundup agricultural
herbicide, Gramoxone brand herbicide or 2,4-D should be added to this product
according to the directions for use on their respective product labels . If
unsatisfactory weed control occurs (due to excessively dry or excessively wet
conditions) following the earlier application, a postemergence application of
an appropriate labeled grass and/or broadleaf weed herbicide may be used . If
a postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used early preplant, do not
exceed the labeled rate for corn on a given soil texture .
12.3.1 DEGREE XTRA HERBICIDE
This product, when applied in a single application will provide preemergence
control or reduced competition of the annual grasses and broadleaf weeds
listed in the “WEEDS CONTROLLED” section of this label . If weeds are emerged

Environmental Hazards
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product is toxic to plants and may
adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in
areas adjacent to the treated site . Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms
by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift .
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 information on the type of soil in your area
and the location of ground water .
Ground water contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent liquid
bulk storage sites with an impermeable material .
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates . 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 washwaters .
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY:
Acetochlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a
result of label use . This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow .
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY:
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater . This is
especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water . This product
is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several
weeks after application .
A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is
applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
potential loading of acetochlor from runoff water and sediment . Runoff of this product
will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur
within 48 hours .
