Califoroia. Set to pt'netmte to a depth of4 to 6 inches and operated at 5 to 8 mph in two different direClioos.

For Band (Row) Application:

Uniformly mix to a depth of2 to 3 inches.

• Hooded power-driven rotary tillers.

• Hooded g:round-driven rotary tillers.

Rolling:

Under most conditions, the treated area should be firmly rolled bl::tween the incorporation unit and the planters.

PLANTING:

For maximum weed control benefits, crops should be planted or seeded immediately after lIpplieation except for fall applications.

Do not use a drag behind the plnnter as it may eoneentrnte Cyeloole 6-£ over the ~ed row lUld cause ClOp injury.

SPRINKLER IRR1GATION APPUCATION (CHEl\UGATION)

Cyeloote 6·£ may be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems ineluding eenter-pivot,lateral move, end tow, side (wlteel) roll.

injury anlL'or poor weed control. If you have lInY questions about equipment calibration, you should contact the State Extension

Service, equipment manufaeturtrs, or other experts. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the areas intended for

tl'Clltment.

Apply through sprinkler irrigation systems liS described below to a weed free ground before or immediately after planting. The

8
•

•

application must bc donc within fivc days after the last tillage operation, since poor rcsults will occur ifwccds hllve germinatcd.

Ccnter Pivot, Laterol Move, End Tow and Traveler Irrigation Equipmcnt:

Inject the spccified ratc ofCycloate 6-E into the irrigation system using a metering device that will introduce a constant flow. Metcr

into sufficient water to pcnetrate to a dcpth 0(3-4 inches. Timc the application to ensure that proper soil penetTIltion corresponds

to the cnd ofthe irrigation set. Tum the watcr off promptly after flushing all the lines.

West Texos andNew Mexico ollfv: Do not apply to dry soil. Apply only to soil with good planting moisture, Le. when soil moisture

levels arc within 1-2 inches ofthe soil surface. Meter the spccificd rate ofCycloate 6-E into center pivot irrigation systems applying

1I4 to 1/2 inch ofwater pcr acre.

Solid Set, Side (wheel) Roll, and Hand Move Irrigation Equipment:

Inject the specificd rate ofCycloate 6-E continuously into sufficient water to wet the soil to a depth of3-4 inches. Time the

application to ensure the Cycloate 6-E injection pcriod coincides with the irrigation timing to apply 3-4 inchcs soil wclting depth.

Tum the water off promptly after flushing all the lines.

USE PRECAUTIONSw SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION

Do not apply this product through irrigation systems connected to apublic watersystem. "Public water system" means 0system for

lhe provision to the public ofpiped water for human consumption ifsuch systcm has at least 15 scrvicc conncctions or regularly

serves an average orat least 15 service conncctions orregularly serves an averagcofat least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out

ofthe year.

Beforc applyingCycloate 6-Ethrough sprinklerirrigation equipmcnt, the chcmigation systemmust mcet thc following specifications;

Thc system must contain II functional check valvc, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on thc

irrigotion pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from back flow.

The pesticidc injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow offluid back

toward the injection pump.

The pesticide injection pipe!inc must also contain a functionol, normolly closed,solenoid.operatcd valve located on the intakc side

ofthe injection pump and connected to the syslcm interlock to prevent fluid from being wilhdrawn from thc supply tank when the

irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

The system must contain functional interloddng controls to lIutomatically shut offthe pesticide injection pump whcn thc water

pump motor stops.

The irrigation line or water pump must ineludc 0 functional pressure switch which will stop the watcrpump motor when the water

pressure decreases to the point where pesticidc distribution is adversely affected.

Systems must use II metering pump, such as a positivc displacement injection pump (c.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designcd

and constructed ofmaterials that are compatible with pesticides and capablc ofbeing fitted with a systcm intcrlock.

A pcrson knowledgcoble ofthe chemigation system and rcsponsible for its operation, or undcr thc supervision ofthc responsible

person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustmcnts should thc nced arise.

Any alternatives to the above requircd safety devices must conform to the list ofEPA approved altcmative devices.

SPRINKLER INCORPO.RATION OFCyeloate 6-E (California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah lind Washington only):

Surface apply the recommended ralC ofCycloate 6-E prior to or immediatcly aflei' planting. Use standard low pressure (20.50 psi)

boom spray equipmcnt dclivcring IO to 50 gallons pcr acre. Avoid overlaps that will increasc Cyeloate 6-E dosage abovc

recommended limits bccause plant injury will occur. The soil surface should be dry (at least \6 inch dcep) and frce from dcw and

incidental moisture. Begin sprinkler incorporation immediately follllwing application and complete within a 36 hour period using

sufficicnt waterto penetratc to a depth of3-4 inches. The application and incorporation must bc done within five days afterthc lasl

tiIIagc opcration, since poor results will occur ifwccds havc gcrminated.

CULTURAL PRACTiCES FOLLOWING APPLiCATION

Cycloate 6-E' is not persistent in thc soil and susceptible wccds germinating later during thc growing seoson may not be controlled.

Shallowcultivation and approved postemergence herbicides may be necessary to cllntrol those susceptible weedsthot escapc control

by Cycloate 6-E as well as those wecds not susceptible to Cycloate 6-E. Do not eultivatc dceper than the depth ofthc hcrbicide

incorporation.

When cultivating fields where Cycloate 6-E has been bandcd in thc row, use shiclds to prcvent thc movement ofuntreated soil into

the treated row.

on the row spacing and band width to be treated. DO NOT USE BAND APPLiCATION ON ROCKY GROUND BECAUSE

THOROUGH INCORPORATION IS NOT POSSIBLE.

Soil Injection Application on Sugar Beets- Special equipment designed for soil injection must be used. The injector units must

be rigidly mounted immediately ahead or immediately behind the planter unit.

Sol! InjeeUon M Injector shanks must be spoeed 2 V. to 3 inches apan and mounted in staggeled positions to avoid trash building up

on them. Injeetorshanks mustbe set to inject Cyeloate 6-E I 1/2 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Thewidlh ofthe band in Which

Cycloate 6-:E AND EPTAM~ 7-E SELECTIVE HERBICIDE TANKMIX FOR PREPLANT USE IN SUGAR BEETS FOR

MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, OHIO, AND THE RED RIVER VALLEY AREA OF NORTH DAKOTA.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The Cyeloate 6-E and EPTAM 7-E herbicide combination is a selective tankmix which controls weeds by interfering with normal

germination and seedling development. This tank mixture can be applied only once per growing season. The combination may be

used in the fall or in the spring (except where noted, see toble below).

Th'e Cyeloalc 6-E and EPTAM 7-E combination may cause crop injury on very light sandy soil attd whcn used under adverse

environmental conditions that weaken crop seedlings.

Atank mixture ofCyeloate 6-Eand EPTAM 7_E will give equal to or greater control ofthe following listed weeds than either product

used separately. This combination does not control established weeds.

Nature ofthe Residue in Plants and Livestock

•

•

The qualitative nature ofthe residue for the uses on the target crops is adequately understood

based on acceptable studies conducted on sugar beet and spinach. The results ofthese metabolism

studies were presented to the BED Metabolism Assessment Review Conunit1ee (MARC), in a

meeting held on 5/18192, for a determination ofcyclontc residues oftoxicologieal concern. The

Conunittee concluded that the total toxic residues requiring regulation included the parent, and the

free and conjugated fonus of3HC and 4HC. The 2~hydroxycycloatc (2HC) metabolite was not

regulated because it constituted an insignificant percentage ofthe total toxic residue. Other

metabolites were not regulated because they had minimal toxicological significance relative to the

above compounds. On 11/5/03 the MARC revisited metabolism in plants [D. Soderberg; 15

December 2003j Cye/oate: Health Effects Division (BED) Metabolism AssessmelllReview

CommWee (MARC) Decision Document; Meeting Date: 5 November 2003; DP Barcode:

0295670; TXR No: 0052275], but concluded that no changes to the previous MARC decision

were warranted.

Livestock

The qualitative nature ofthe residue in ruminants is adequately understood based on an acceptable

goat metabolism study. Although the two recognized plant metabolites of concern, 3HC and 4HC,

were identified in goat kidney and milk, BED has determined that a ruminant feeding study is not

needed. Furthennore, tolerances for cyc!oate residues ofconcern in the milk and tissues of

ruminants need not be proposed and established, and residue analytical methods do not need to be

developed. These recommendations are based on the low magnitude ofthe residues of concern

[collectively 4.8% ofTRR (0.02 ppm) in kidney and 5.9% ofTRR «0.01 ppm) in milk} and in

consideration ofthe exaggerated feeding level (88x) used in the goat metabolism study (Category

3,40 CFR §180.6).

A poultry metabolism study for cycloate is available (MRID 43273101). However, HED has not

reviewed the subject study because there are no poultry feed items associated with the registered

uses ofcyc10ate on spinach, sugar beets, aud garden beetsj nor will use on Swiss chard affect

poultry feed. This study may prove to be useful in the future ifthe registrant decides to register

additional crops which may be used as poultry feedstuffs.

4.2.1.2. Residue Analytieal Methods

An analytical method based upon the steam distillation ofcycloate from plants and measurement

by GC using FID, is currently listed in PAM i1 as Method A for detenninntion of S~

ethylcyclohexylethylthiocarbamate. The method was determined to be adequate for enforcement

and collection of data on cyeloate, per se, in/on plant commodities. (List B. Residue Analytical

methods Inventory, R Perfetti, 6/22/90) However, OPP determined in 1992 that a new

enforcement method was needed that would be capable of determining not only cycloatc, but also

its 3HC and 4HC metabolites inion plants (CBRS No. 9028. DP Barcode DI71952, 5/19/92, C.

Olinger). The analytical methodes) also was required to include a hydrolysis step to release any

conjugated residues of3HC or 4HC.

30

17
•

•

To meet this requirement, the registrantsubmitted a GCINPD residue analytical method (1995,

MRIO 43523801, OP Barcode 0213101), that can detennine 3HC and 4HC, as well as cycloate,

and includes the requisite hydrolysis step to release bound residues of3HC and 4HC. The

reported limit ofquantification (LOQ) for each metabolite was 0.05 ppm. Residue identification

can be confinued by GelMs. Although submitted validation data were acceptable for data

collection, for tolerance enforcement the recoveries tended to ron too high (>120%) and also to

have standard deviations that sometimes exceeded 20%. The submitted data did not support

tolerance enforcement on spinach.

This method was subjected to an independent laboratory evaluation (ILV) on garden beet roots and

tops, in accordance with PR Notice 96-1. This lLV incorporated certain modifications to improve

perfonnance. With these modifications, the ILV adequately supported use ofthis method on

garden beet tops and also roots, but did not address spinach. Subsequent to this ILV a field trial

was submitted for Swiss chard, and in this field trial this same method was perfonned on Swiss

chard by an IR-4laboratory. The IR-4laboratory had excellent recoveries and repeatabilities for

ailS analytes in Swiss chard even at 0.05 ppm. After a review ofthis data, ChernSAC (19

November 2003) bas concluded that the infonnation from this field trial can be used as equivalent

to an additional ILV and that, based upon perfonnance ofthe method in this field trial, this method

can be construed by weight ofthe evidence to be adequate for enforcement ofcycloate residues

inion all registered commodities, including spinach.

The requirement for radiovalidation ofthe new method has not yet been fulfilled. A

radiovalidation study ofthis rncthod must be submitted.

No method is required for residues in livestock.

4.2.1.3. Multiresidue Method (MRM)

The reregistration requirements for multiresidue methods data are not yet fulfilled. The 10/99

FDA PESTDATA database (PAM Volwne I, Appendix II) indicates that cycloate, perse, is

completely recovered using Multiresidue Method Section 302 (Luke Method; Protocol D).

Cycloatc showed variable recovery using Multiresidue Method Section 303 (Mills, Onley, and

Gaither; Protocol E) and small recovery using Multiresidue Method Section 304 (Mills; Protocol E

- fatty foods). Although adequate data regarding the FDA multiresidue methods are available for

cycloate, per se, the registrant is required to provide recovery data through the PAM I protocol for

the 3HC and 4HC metabolites. The registrant should follow the directions for the protocols found

in PAM Volume I, Appendix n. starting with the decision tree for multiresidue methods testing

(i.e., decisions on what protocols to follow and proper applications ofthe methods).

4.2.1.4. Magnitude ofResidues in Plants

For more detail sec the cycloate residue chemistry chapter (D279073).

Adequate residue data (MRIDs 42919703 and 4293970 1) are available for garden beets tm.m)ln

•

The combined residues, both free and conjugated, ofcycloate and its metabolites ofconcem

(trmts-3HC, cis-3HC, trans-4HC and cis-4HC) were <0.25 ppm (the combined LOQs for these

analytes) in/on all trcatcd root samples except those from the CA field trial. Combined residues of

cycloate and its metabolites from tIte CA trial were <0.31 ppm inion roots. TIle combined residues

of cycloatc and its metabolites of concent were <0.25 ppm (the combined LOQs for these analytes)

in/on all treated top samples except those from the CA trial. Data from the CA trial, indicate that

the combined residues ofcycloate and its metabolites were <0.95 ppm in/on tops. HED

recommends that the current tolerance (expressed as cycloate, perse) of0.05 ppm for garden beet

the Current tolerance (expressed as cycloate, per se) of 0.05 ppm for garden beet tops be reassessed

at 1.0 ppm, expressed as cycloate and its 3HC and 4HC metabolites.

Adequate residue data (MRlD 4291970 I) are available for cycloutc on sugar beets from

appropriately distributed trials. The plots werc planted with sugar beets on the day ofcycloate

application and the beets were harvested at cro' ollowing a single preplant

The combined residues of cycloate and its metabolites were <0.25 ppm (the combined LOQs for

these analytes) in/on all treated rootsamples. The combined residues of cyclollte and its

metabolites were <0.25 ppm (the combined LOQs for these aDalytes) in/on all treated top samples.

HED recommends that the current tolerance (expressed as cycloate, per se) of 0.05 ppm for sugar

beet roots be reassessed at 0.30 ppm, expressed as cycloate and its 3HC and 4HC metabolites

(both free and conjugated); and that the current tolerance (expressed as cycloatet per se) of0.05

Adequate residue data (MRlD 42919702) are available for spinach from appropriately distributed

trials (conducted in AR, CA, MD. and TX). Spinach was harvested 64-89 days following a single

preplant broadcast soil-incorporated application ofthe Be fonnulation applied at

4.2.1.5. Magnitude ofResidues In Processed Commodities

Sugar beet (refined sugar. dried pulp. and mQlasses)

An acceptable sugar beet processing study (MRID 42939702) is available. Residues ofthe parent

cyclonte and its metabolites were nondetectnble (ench <0.05 ppm) in/on the RAC (sugar beet root)

following a single preplant broadcast soil-incorporated application oftlte BC fOffilUlntion at 8.0 Ib

ai/A (2x the maximum registered rate). The maximwn theoretical concentration ofsugar from the

processing (based on separation into components) ofsugar beets is 12.5x. Following processing of

the treated RAC according to simulated commercial procedures, the combined residues

concentrated 3.5x in molasses; no concentration (or reduction) ofresidues was observed in pulp

and sugar. The maximum expected combined residues ofcyclonte and its metabolites in sugar

beet molasses, reSUlting from application ofthe herbicide according to registered uses, is 0.88

ppm. The registrant should propose a 1.0 pm tolerance, expressed as cycloate and its 3HC and

4HC metabolites, for sugar beet molasses.

4.2.1.6. Magnitude of Residues in Meat, MIlk, Poultry and Eggs (MMPE)

Ruminants:

Poultry (0284138): A feeding study for poultry has been waived because there are currently no

uses ofcycloate on poultry feedstuffs. Cycloatc tolerances are not required for eggs and the meat

and meat byproducts of poultry.

Cattle. SheeP. Goats. Horses and Hogs: The requirements for data depicting the magnitude of

cycloatc residues ofconcern in milk and edible tissues oflivestock are fulfilled. Based on an

acceptable ruminant metabolism study (MRIO 43392701), lIED has detennined that tolerances for

milk, meat, and meat byproducts oflivestock animals are not required (Category 3, 40 CFR

§180.6) for reregistration.

4.2.1.7. Confined and FIeld AccumulatIon in Rotational Crops

An acceptable confmed rotational crop study (MRIO 42409001) is available. In the study

radioactive residues (expressed in tenus ofe4

C]cycloate equivalents) accumulated at levels above

0.01 ppm in all commodities oflettuce, radish, and wheat planted in sandy loam 50i130/42, 120,

and 365 days following application ofuniformly ring-labeled [14C]cycioate at 4.41b ai/A (1.1x the

maximum seasonal rate). Accumulation ofresidues was highest in samples planted 30 or 42 days

after treatment (OAT) and was significantly lower in samples planted 120 and 365 DAT. At 30142

OAT, the TRR were highest in radish tops (5.85 and 6.08 ppm) and wheat straw (6.03 ppm). At

the 365-DAT rotation interval, radioactive residues remained detectable in all rotational

commodities with the highest residues in wheat straw (0.35 ppm). TIle registrant conducted

SOIL PREPARATION: Prepare the soil forsceding according to good agricultural practice. All weed growth should be thoroughly

worked into the soil before treatment. DO NOT APPLY BEFORE PRE1RR1GATlON.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Mechanical Soil Incorporation or InJectlon Applications: Apply RO·NEET6-E to well-worked soil which is dry enough to pennit

thorough mixing with incorporation equipment or proper injection. Use standard low-pressure (20.50 psi) boom spray equipment.

Application equipment should be carefully calibrated before use and checked frequently during application to be sure nozzles arc

free from clogging and delivering a unifonn pattern. Apply UNIFORMLY the recommended rate of RD-NEET 6-E in 10 to 50

gallons ofwatcr per acre. Avoid overlaps that will increase RO-NEET 6-E dosage above recommended limits because plant injury

will occur.

RO-NEET 6-E with FluId Fertilizer: RO-NEET 6-E may be combined with fluid (solution, slurry, or suspension) fertilizers.

However, physical compatibility with lhese fluid fertilizers must be detcnnined before combining in the spray tank. See Appendix

Igiving directionsfor these combinations. Even though found to beeompatible, constant agitation is necessary to keep the RO-NEET

6-E evenly mixed with the fluid fertilizer.

Impregnation on Dry Bulk Fertilizers: RO_NEET 6-E may be impregnated on many dry bulk fertilizers for use on sugar beets.

RO-NEET 6-E impregnated on dry bulk fertilizers may be applied and incorporaled into the soil either in the fall (in states where fall

application for RD-NEET6-E is recommended) beforetheground freezes, or before plunting. However, unifonn dislribution ofRONEET6-E on fertilizer particles and unifonn application are necessary to assuregood results. Sec Appendix II for special instructions

regarding directions for impregnation and use.

INCORPORATION DIRECTIONS

RO-NEET 6-E must be incorporated into the soil to prevent loss ofthe herbicide.

Timing: RO-NEET 6·E applications in water must be incorporated immediately (within minUles). Whenever possible, appliealion

and ineorporalion should bedone in the sameopcration. Applications made in liquid fertilizer may havea maximum delay of4 hours

before incorporation. Applications made on dry bulk fertilizer must be incorporated within the same day ofapplication. Immediate

incorporation must be made with liquid and dry bulk fertilizer appliealions ifsoil surface is damp or if windy eondilions (t5 mph

or greater) or rainfall are present or expected.

Depth: RO·NEET 6-E should be incorporated into the soil to a depth of2-3 inches (California only: incorporate to a depth of3

inches). Thorough soil mixing is necessary for good weed eontro!. Usc equipment which has been proven to incorporate thoroughly

to the recommended depth.

SOIL MIXING (INCORPORATION) BEFORE PLANTING: The following equipment commonly is used for soil mixing

(incorporation) before planting:

For Broadcast (Overall) Appllcatlon:

Power Driven Cultivation Equipment (recommended on all soil types). Set to cut to a deplh of2 10 J inches.

Tandem Discs (recommended on all soil types). Set to cut to a depth of4 to 6 inches, operated at 4 to 6 mph followed by a spikedtooth harrow orsome other leveling device which extends beyond the ends ofthe discs. For more thorough mixing (for nutsedge,

heavier soils), disc in two different directions (cross disc).

Field Cultivators (recommended on lightersoils in good tilth only). Not recommended in California. Use J to 4 rows ofslVeeps,

spaced at 7 inch or less intervals and staggered so that no soil is left unturncd, followed by a spiked-tooth harrow or some other

leveling device pulled behind the cultivator. Do not use chisels or points. Set the cultivator to cut 4 inches deep, operated at 5

mph or more. Run the equipment over the field twice, lhe second run at an angle to the fIrst.

Rotary Ground Driven or Spring-Tooth Cultivators (recommended on lighter soils in good tilth only). Not recommended in

California. Set to penetrate to a depth of4 to 6 inches and operated at 5 to 8 mph in two different directions.

For Band (Row) Application:

Unifonnly mix to a depth of 2 to J inches.

• Hooded power-driven rolary tillers.

• Hooded ground-driven rotary tillers.

Rolling:

Under most conditions, the treated area should be finnly rolled betwecn the incorporation unit and the planters.

PLANTING:

For maximum weed control benefits, crops should be planted or seeded immediately after application except for fall applications.

Do not usc a drag behind the planter as it may concentrate RO·NEET 6-E over lhe seed row and cause crop injury.

SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION (CHEMIGATION)

RD-NEET 6-E may be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems including center-pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll,

traveler, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Check

the irrigation syslem to ensure unifonn application ofwaterto all areas. Failure to apply RO-NEET 6-E unifonnly may result in crop

injury and/or poor weed control. If you have any qucstions about equipment calibration, you should contact the State Extension

Service, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the areas intended for

treatment.

USE PRECAUTIONS - SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION

Do not apply this product through irrigation systems connected to a public watersystem. "Public watcrsystem" means a systcm for

the provision to the public ofpiped water for human consumption ifsuch system has at least 15 service connections or regularly

serves an average ofmlcast \5 scrvicc connections or regularly serves an avcrage ofat least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out

ofthe year.

Bcfore applying RO-NEET 6·E through sprinkler irrigation equipment, the chcmigation system must mect the following

spceifications:

The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriatcly locatcd on thl;:

irrigation pipcline to prevent wmcr-source contamination from back flow.

The pcsticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prcvent the flow offluid back

toward the injection pump.

The pestieideinjcction pipelinc must also contain a functional, nonnallyelosed, solenoid-operated valvc located on theintake side

ofthe injection pump and eonnccloo to the systcm interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the

irrigmion system is cithcr automatically or manually shut down.

The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump whcn thc watcr

pump motor stops.

The irrigatiolliine or water pump must include a functional pressureswiteh which will stop the watcrpump motorwhcn the wlltcr

pressurc decreases to the point where pC5ticide distribution is adversely affectcd.

Systems must usc a mctering pump, such as 11 positive disploecment injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) cffectively designed

and constructed ofmatcrials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being filled with a system interlock.

A person knowledgeable ofthe ehemigation system and responsiblc for its operation, orunder the supervision ofthe responsible

person, shall shut the system down and makc nccessary adjustments should the nced arise.

Any altcmatives to the above required safety devices must confonn to thc list of EPA approved alternative devices.

SPRINKLER INCORPORATION OF RO-NEET 6-E (California, Idaho, Newda, Oregan, Utah and Wllshlngton only):

Surfacc apply the recommended rate ofR()..N EET 6-E prior to orimmcdiately after planting. Usc standard lowpressure(20-50 psi)

boom spray cquipment delivering 10 to 50 gallons pcr acrc. Avoid overlaps that will increasc RO-NEET 6-E dosagc above

recommended limits becausc plant injury will occur. The soil sunace should be dry (at least 'h inch deep) :md free from dew and

incidental moisture. Begin sprinklcr incorporation hnmediatcly following application and complcte within a 36 hour period using

sufficicnt watcr to penetrate to a depth of34 inches. Thc application and incorporation must be dane within five days afterrhc last

tillage operation. since poor results will occur if weeds have genninated.

CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION

RO-NEET 6-E is not persistent ill the soil and susceptible weeds gcnninating later during thc growing season may not be controllcd.

Shallow cultivation and approved postemcrgcnee herbicides may be necessary to controlthosc susceptiblc weeds that eseapc control

by RO-N EET 6-E as well as those weeds not susceptible to R()..NEET 6-E. Do not cultivate deeper than the depth ofthe herbicide

incorporation.

Whcn cultivating fields where RO-NEET 6-E has been banded in the row, use shields to prevent thc movemcnt ofuntreated soil into

the treated row.

4. Two onc.quar1, wide-mouth glMSjnrs with lid orstopper.

5, Measuring spoons (a 2S ml pipette or graduated cylinder provides more- accumlcfficasurcmcnl).

6. Measuring cup, 8 oz. (237 101).

;

50
PROCEDURE:

I. Pour a pint (about 473 ml) ofthe fluid fertilizer into ClIch of the qUlIrtjars.

2. Add lIdjuvllnt to one of the jars lind mix (see ratc table).

3. Add the RO·NEET 6·E 10 both jars (see ralc tnhle).

4. Close both jars with lid or sloppcr and mix thecontcnlS by turning lhcjars upside down ten times.

S. Inspect the surface and body oflhe mixlUres.

(A) Immcdilltely after completing the jar inversions.

(B) After allowing the jars to sland quietly for 30 minutes.

(C) And then again after turning the jnrs upside down 10 times.

If the unifonn mix cannot be made, the mixture should not be used. If either mixture remains unifonn for 30 minutes, the

combination may be used. ShllUld either mixture separate after 30 minutes, but readily remix unifonnly wilh lhejar inversions, the

mixture ean be used if adequate agitation is maintained in the tlInk. Ifthe 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 can be minimized by using moderate lIgitation.

Ifnondispersible oil, sludge, or clumps ofsolids form in the mixtures, the combinations should not be used.

APPENDIX II

RO-NEET6-E IMPREGNATION ON DRY BULK FERTILIZERS

CAUTION: Nitrate fertil izersrepresent a poten tial explosive hnzard, partieul arly in contact wilh organic substancessuch as RO·N EET

6·E. Do not impregnate RO-NEET 6-E on ammonium nitrate. Do not use fcnilizers containing lImmonium, potassium or sodium

nitrate. Such mixtures may cause explosion.

All individual state regulations relllting to dry bulk fenilizcr blending, registration,labeling, and application are the responsibility

ofthe individual and/or eompllny selling RO_NEET6·E fertilizer mixtures.

RO-NEET 6-E may be impregnated on manydry bulk fenilizers (TlIble I) and applied and incorporated into Ihe soil before planting

for the control oflabcled grasses and broadleafweeds in sugar beets.

All RO-NEET 6-E label and supplementary literature instructions lind precautions regarding rates per acre. soil type and soil

incorporation, application, and other directions must be followed.

Test results have shown RO-NEET 6-E on many dry bulk fertilizers gives weed control equal to RO·NEET 6-E applied as a spray

in water or liquid fertilizer. However, unifonn impregnation oflhe pesticide on the dry fenilizer panicles and unifonn applielltion

in Ihe field are necessary to assure good results.

A minimum of2DD pounds ofapproved fertilizer ingredients (Table 2) impregnated with the appropriate amount ofRO·NEET 6·E

must be applied per acre.

51
•

For impregnating the pesticides on dry fertilizers, usc a closed rotary-drum type mixer equipped with suitable spraying equipment.

The sproy nozzles should be positioned inside ofthe mixer to provide unifonn spray coverage ofthe tumbling fertilizer. The RONEET 6-E should be sprayed unifonnly onto the fertilizer using II fine spray pattern.

The physical properties offenilizcrs vary, particularly in liquid absorptive capacity. When absorptivity is sufficient, simple spray

impregnation ofthe fertilizer with RO-NEET 6-£ provides II satisfaclory dry mixture.

Ifthe absorptivity is not adequate, useofn highly absorplivcpowder is required [0 provide n dry, free-flowing mixture. Micro_CcffM

E is the recomnlended absorbent powder. II should be added sepamlcly and unifonnly to the prepared pesticide-fertilizer mixture.

in a quantity that is sufficient to provide a suitable free-flowing mixture. Generally. less than 2% by weight ofMicro-Cel is required.

The amount ofRO-NEET 6-E actually required in the mllnuf.1elure ofindividual fertilizer mixtures should be detennined carefully

for eaeh production operation. 11lis is necessary to ensure that the amounts of RO-NEET 6-E actually contained in the mixture

applied to the soil represent the correct rates of usc.

Table 1

Bulk fertilizers impregnated with RO-NEET 6-E should be applied immediately, NOT STORED. All bulk containers should be

tightly covered while the products are being transported and applied to reduce chance of RO-NEET 6-E loss via volatilization.
