Use Information

ATRAZINE 90DF 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, use the lower rate on Coarse textured soil and soil low in organic matter and use the higher rate 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, nonflammable and has low electrical conductivity. Take care 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

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. Add this product directly 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.
  12. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank-mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank-mixture.

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:

  1. Maintain 35 to 40 psi at nozzles.
  2. Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension.
  3. 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.

For band applications, calculate the amount to be applied per acre as follows:

Drexel Chemical Company Atrazine 90DF Application Procedures

THIS PRODUCT IN WATER OR LIQUID FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS

Nitrogen solutions or complete liquid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as a carrier for pre-emergence and pre-plant applications of this product on Corn and Sorghum. Check the compatibility of this product with liquid fertilizer and / or nitrogen solution as shown below before use. Do not apply in nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer after Corn or Sorghum emerges, or crop injury may occur.

Compatibility Test: 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 complete suspension 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 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients.

Check compatibility using this procedure:

  1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one quart jars with tight lids.
  2. To one of the jars, add 0.25 teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as MIXTM, Compex® or Unite® (0.25 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pts. per 100 gals. of 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.

         4.After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten and invert each jar ten 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 two 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 half of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other half of the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.

THIS PRODUCT PLUS EMULSIFIABLE OIL OR OIL CONCENTRATE

Adding emulsifiable oil (petroleum-derived, petroleum-derived oil concentrate or single or mixed crop-derived oil concentrate) to post-emergence water-based sprays in Corn and Sorghum may improve weed control. However, under certain conditions, the use of either type of oil may seriously injure the crop. To minimize this possibility, observe the following directions. Use one of the following properly emulsified:

  1. A suitable oil concentrate containing at least 1% but not more than 20% suitable emulsifier or surfactant blend.
  2. Petroleum-derived oil containing at least 1% suitable emulsifier.

Note: In the event of a compatibility problem when mixing oil with this product and water, use a compatibility agent such as MIX, Compex or Unite. Any of the above oils contaminated with water or other materials can cause compatibility problems and / or crop injury.

Apply only on Sandy loams and Finer textured soils.

USE PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL APPLICATIONS TO SORGHUM

 

  • Heavy rains immediately following application tend to cause excessive concentrations of herbicide in seed furrow, resulting in possible crop injury. Make applications to furrow-planted Sorghum until after furrows are leveled (plow-in). Level deep planter marks or seed furrows before application.

 

  • Application made to Sorghum growing under stress caused by minor element deficiency or to Sorghum growing on highly calcareous soils may result in crop injury.

 

  • Following harvest, plow (moldboard or disk-plow) and thoroughly till the soil in the Fall or Spring to minimize possible injury to Spring-seeded rotational crops, regardless of rate used.

 

  • Injury may occur if both this herbicide, pre-plant surface, pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence and an at-planting systemic insecticide applied in-furrow are used.

 

  • For applications to furrow-irrigated bedded Sorghum in AZ and

 

CA and for post-emergence applications plus emulsifiable oil, see

 

additional precautions under these sections of this label.

 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR ALL APPLICATIONS TO SORGHUM

 

  • Do not apply more than 2.7 pounds of this product (2.5 lbs. a.i.) per acre per calendar year.
  • For all soil applications prior to crop emergence (except for pre-emergence use on bedded Sorghum in AZ and CA), do not apply to Coarse textured soils, i.e., Sand, Loamy sand, Sandy loam or to Medium and Fine-textured soils having less than 1% organic matter or injury may occur.
  • For post-emergence applications, do not apply to Sand or Loamy sand or injury may occur.
  • Do not harvest for forage within 60 days of a pre-emergence application and 45 days of a post-emergent application.
