- Application Information
Uniformly apply Parallel PCS with properly calibrated aerial equipment in 5 or more gallons of spray mixture per acre . Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur . To avoid injury to sensitive crops from drift, aerial applicators must adhere to the following SPECIAL AERIAL USE DIRECTIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS: Nozzle height above ground must be a maximum of 10 feet above the crop with low drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi . Nozzles must be pointed toward the rear of the aircraft . The downward angle of the nozzle should not be greater than 20 degrees .To minimize wing-tip vortex roll, nozzles or spray boom must not be located any closer to the end of wing or rotor than three-fourths the distance from the center of the aircraft . Use a maximum spray pressure of 40 psi . A buffer zone must be established between the area to be sprayed and sensitive crops .Restriction: Do not spray when wind velocity is greater than 5 mph .Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage which results from spraying Parallel PCS in any manner other than what is listed on this label . In addition, applicator must follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordinances in regard to spraying .

Technical Details & Test Data
- Environmental Hazard
For terrestrial uses, 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 contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate .Ground Water Advisory: This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use . Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination .Surface Water Advisory: Metolachlor can contaminate surface water through ground spray drift . Under some conditions, metolachlor may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water), for several months post-application . These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying extremely shallow ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-laying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water .Mixing/Loading Instructions: Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning into wells, spills, or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates .Check-valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing and/or irrigation equipment .Do not mix or load this product within 50 ft . of perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes, and reservoirs . Do not mix or load this product within 50 ft . of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes . Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 ft . of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad . Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash-water, and rain water that may fall on the pad . Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained . The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal . An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad . A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad .Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times . The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site .
- Compatibility
Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with herbicide(s) each time before use . Be especially careful when using completesuspension or fluid fertilizers, as serious compatibility problems are more likely to occur . Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in some instances . The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals ./A . For other spray volumes, make appropriate 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 one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp . or 1 .2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use such as Compex® or Unite® (1/4 tsp . is equivalent to 2 pts ./100 gals . spray) . Shake or stir gently to mix .3 . To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s) . If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last . After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix . The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows:Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1 .5 level teaspoons to each jar .Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0 .5 teaspoon or 2 .5 milliliters to each jar .Note: For Parallel PCS tank mixtures with AAtrex + Princep, use 1/3-1/2 the amount of AAtrex specified above and the remainder as Princep, depending on whether the 1:2 or 1:1 ratio of AAtrex to Princep is 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, precipitates, 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, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A) slurry the dry herbicide(s) in water before addition, or (B) add 1/2 of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture . If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture .*See Special Mixing Instructions for tank mixtures with Cotoran, and with AAtrex or Princep + Prowl under the appropriate tank mixture section
