Features & Benefits
- Product Information
ATRA-5 Herbicide will control most annual Broadleaf and Grass weeds in Corn, Sorghum, Sugarcane and certain other crops as specified on this label. This product may be applied before or after weeds emerge.
In each case where a range of rates is given, the lower rate should be used on Coarse textured soil and soil low in organic matter and the higher rate should be used on Fine textured soil and soil high in organic matter.
Since this product acts mainly through root absorption, its effectiveness depends on rainfall or irrigation to move it into the root zone. Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally result in better weed control.
This product is non-corrosive to equipment and metal surfaces, non flammable and has low electrical conductivity. Care should be taken to avoid using this product near adjacent desirable plants or in greenhouses, or injury may occur.
To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result.
Note: The Seller does not recommend the use of this product in combination with other herbicides or oils except as specifically described on the label or in literature published by the Seller.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL USE PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR WEED CONTROL, CROP INJURY OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

- Application Procedures
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
GROUND APPLICATION: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and are the same size. Calibrate sprayer before use and recalibrate at the start of each season and when changing carriers. Unless otherwise specified, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre for all pre-plant incorporated, pre-plant surface, pre-emergence and post-emergence applications (with or without oil or surfactant) with ground equipment. Use a pump with capacity to:
- Maintain 35 to 40 psi at nozzles.
- Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension.
- Provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times.
Use centrifugal pumps which provide propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a minimum of 10 gallons per minute per 100 gallon tank size circulated through a correctly positioned sparger tube or jets.Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16 mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50 mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations.
AERIAL APPLICATION: Use aerial application only where broadcast applications are specified. Apply in a minimum of 1 quart of water for each quart of this product applied per acre. For post-emergence treatments on Corn and Sorghum, apply the rate in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre. Avoid applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.
- Mixing Procedures
MIXING PROCEDURES (All Uses)
1. Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materials or crop injury or sprayer clogging may result.
2. Fill tank one-fourth full with clean water, nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer.
3. Start agitation.
4. Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface.
5. Pour product directly from container into tank.
6. Continue filling tank until 90% full. Increase agitation, if necessary, to maintain surface action.
7. Add emulsifiable oil, oil concentrate or tank-mix herbicide(s) after this product is thoroughly suspended.
8. Finish filling tank.
9. Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent buildup of oil or emulsifiable concentrate residue. Maintain agitation to avoid separation of materials.
10. If an oil or emulsifiable concentrate film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with strong detergent solution or solvent.
11. Clean sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing system with water containing a detergent.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Hazards To Humans And Domestic Animals
CAUTION: Harmful if absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are poly ethylene or polyvinyl chloride. If you want more options, follow the instructions for Category A on the EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart.
Applicators using spray equipment mounted on their backs must wear: Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and chemical-resistant gloves such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride.
Mixers, loaders, all other applicators, flaggers, and other handlers must wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant gloves such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, shoes plus socks, and chemical-resistant apron when mixing/loading, cleaning up spills, cleaning equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate. See “ENGINEERING CONTROLS” for additional requirements. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
- Environmental Hazard
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter groundwater which may be used as drinking water. Atrazine has been found in groundwater. Users are advised not to apply Atrazine to Sand and Loamy sand soils where the water table (groundwater) 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 groundwater. Groundwater contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent liquid bulk storage sites with an impermeable material.
This product must not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of intermit tent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This product must not be applied within 66 feet of the points where field surface water runoff enters perennial or intermittent streams and rivers or within 200 feet around natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. If this product is applied to highly erodible land, the 66 foot buffer or setback from runoff entry points must be planted to crop or seeded with Grass or other suitable crop.
This product must not be mixed/loaded or used within 50 feet of all wells including abandoned wells, drainage wells and sinkholes. Op erations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or contain ers within 50 feet 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 spill or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater and rainwater 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 capac ity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to com pletely 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 sites. Additional States imposed requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational area containment must be ob served.
This pesticide is toxic to 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.
