General Information

Prowl® 3.3 EC herbicide is a selective herbicide for con-trolling most annual grasses and certain broadleaf weedsas they germinate. Refer to Table 1 for a complete list ofcontrolled weeds. Prowl 3.3 EC will not control estab-lished weeds.

Unusually cold, excessively wet, or hot and dry conditionsthat delay germination or extend germination over a longperiod of time can reduce weed control.

Overapplication can result in crop-stand loss, crop injury, orsoil residues.

Uneven application or improper soil incorporation candecrease weed control or cause crop injury. Soil incorpora-tion deeper than recommended can reduce weed control.

Seedling diseases, cold weather, excessive moisture, shal-low or deep planting, low or high soil pH, high soil salt con-centration, or drought can weaken seedlings and plantsand increase the possibility of crop damage fromProwl 3.3 EC. Under these conditions, crop yields can bereduced.

Table 1. Weeds Controlled(see crop sections for additional weeds controlled)

Mode of Action

Prowl 3.3 EC is a meristematic inhibitor that interferes withthe plant's cellular division or mitosis. This and/or otherproducts with the meristematic inhibiting mode of actionmay not effectively control naturally occurring biotypes ofsome of the weeds listed on this label. A weed biotype is anaturally occurring plant within a given species that has aslightly different, but distinct, genetic makeup from otherplants. Other herbicides with the meristematic inhibitingmode of action include other dinitroaniline herbicides, suchas trifluralin. If naturally occurring meristematic inhibitingresistant biotypes are present in a field, Prowl 3.3 ECand/or any other meristematic inhibiting mode of actionherbicide should be tank mixed or applied sequentially withan appropriate registered herbicide having a different modeof action to ensure control.

Application Rate

Use rates for Prowl 3.3 EC when used alone, in tank mix,or sequential applications are given in Crop-specificInformation. Use rates of this product vary by soil textureand organic matter. See Table 2 for soil texture groupingsused in this label.

Table 2. Soil Texture Groups

Application Timings

Prowl 3.3 EC will provide most effective weed controlwhen applied by ground or aerial equipment and subse-quently incorporated into soil within 7 days after applicationby rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or mechanical tillage prior toweed seedling emergence from soil. Prowl 3.3 EC canalso be applied through chemigation, including floodedbasin irrigation systems. Prowl 3.3 EC is recommendedfor preplant surface, preplant incorporated, surface incor-porated, preemergence, early postemergence, postemer-gence incorporated (CULTI-SPRAY) or layby treatment. SeeCrop-specific Information for specific application direc-tions by crop.

Preplant Surface Applications: For use in minimumtillage or no-tillage production systems, applyProwl 3.3 EC alone or in tank mixes up to 45 days beforeplanting. When making early preplant surface applications(15 to 45 days prior to planting), Prowl 3.3 EC should betank mixed or followed by a postemergence herbicide

application. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 7 days afterapplication is required to move this product into the uppersoil surface where weed seeds germinate.

Preplant Incorporated Applications: ApplyProwl® 3.3 EC herbicide and incorporate into the upper(1 inch to 2 inches) soil surface up to 60 days before plant-ing. Use an implement capable of giving uniform incorpora-tion; two-pass incorporation usually results in a moreconsistent result.

Surface Incorporated Applications: Uniformly applyProwl 3.3 EC as broadcast or banded treatment to soilsurface underneath established trees and/or in groundareas between trees rows. Within 7 days after application,incorporate into upper (1 inch to 2 inches) soil surfaceusing either rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or shallow mechani-cal incorporation using an implement capable of giving uni-form incorporation; two-pass mechanical incorporationusually results in a more consistent result.

Preemergence Surface Applications: Broadcast treat-ment uniformly to the soil surface at planting and up to 2days after planting. Rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or shallowmechanical incorporation within 7 days after application isrequired to move this product into the upper soil surfacewhere weed seeds germinate. If adequate rainfall or irriga-tion does not occur and weed seedling emergence begins,a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will improveperformance.

Early Postemergence Applications: Prowl 3.3 EC mustbe applied prior to weed seedling emergence or in a tankmix with products that control the emerged weeds. Referto Crop-specific Information for specific postemergenceapplication recommendations by crop.

Postemergence Incorporated Applications(CULTI-SPRAY): Prior to application, crop must be cultivat-ed in such a manner as to throw at least one inch of soilover the base of the crop plants. This will prevent directcontact of Prowl 3.3 EC and the zone of brace root for-mation. Prowl 3.3 EC must be applied broadcast with aground sprayer when crop is at least 4 inches tall up tolayby. Use drop nozzles if crop foliage will prevent uniformcoverage of the soil surface within the rows. Thoroughlyand uniformly incorporate Prowl 3.3 EC treatments intothe soil with:(1) a sweep-type or rolling cultivator set to provide thor-

ough incorporation in the top 1 inch of soil, or (2) adequate overhead irrigation water or rainfall. See

Crop-specific Information (Corn and GrainSorghum) for more details on (CULTI-SPRAY)application.

Layby Application: Apply Prowl 3.3 EC directly to thesoil between rows as a directed spray following the lastnormal cultivation (layby). See Crop-specific Informationfor more details on layby application.

Split Applications: Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied pre-plant incorporated up to 60 days prior to planting andfollowed by a preemergence application at planting or up

to 2 days after planting. The total amount of Prowl 3.3 ECapplied per acre per season cannot exceed the highestlabeled rate for any given soil type. See Crop-specificInformation for more details on split applications.

Fall Applications: Prowl 3.3 EC may be used in fall appli-cation programs in certain crops. See Crop-specificInformation for details on fall application timing.

Spraying Instructions

Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied using either water orsprayable fluid fertilizer (such as straight 32-0-0 or 28-0-0)as the spray carrier. Additionally, Prowl 3.3 EC may beimpregnated on dry bulk fertilizer. Sprayable fluid fertilizeras a carrier is NOT recommended for use after crop emer-gence unless the typical fertilizer burn symptoms on thecrop are acceptable.

Aerial ApplicationsUniformly apply in 5 or more gallons of water per acre.Exercise caution to minimize drift. DO NOT apply duringperiods of gusty winds or when wind conditions favor drift-ing. Spray drift can cause injury to sensitive crops. It is rec-ommended that a flagman or an automatic mechanicalflagging unit on the aircraft be used to avoid overlappingand possible crop injury.

Ground Applications (Broadcast)Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipmentin 10 or more gallons of water per acre or 20 or more gal-lons of liquid fertilizer per acre. Use sprayers equipped withappropriate nozzles that provide uniform and accuratespray distribution and minimize drift. Keep the bypass lineon or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming.Nozzle and in-line screens must be no finer than 50 mesh.Application of Prowl 3.3 EC during periods of gusty windsmay result in uneven applications. DO NOT applyProwl 3.3 EC postemergence in liquid fertilizers.

If liquid fertilizer/herbicide(s) mixture separates in the spraytank, clogged equipment and uneven application canresult. Always predetermine the compatibility ofProwl 3.3 EC alone or with other herbicides based on thefollowing compatibility “jar test”:1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to a quart jar.2. Add 1 to 4 teaspoon(s) of the Dry Flowable (DF),

Wettable Powder (WP), Aqueous Solution (AS), Flowable(F) or Liquid (L) formulation (depending on mixing ratiorequired) to the liquid fertilizer. The number of teaspoonsof the formulation to add can be determined by the fol-lowing formula:

3. Close the jar and agitate until the herbicide(s) are evenlydispersed in the liquid fertilizer. If the materials DO NOTdisperse well, it may be necessary to slurry the chemi-cals in water before adding to the fertilizer.

4. After dispersing the materials, add appropriate numberof teaspoons of Prowl 3.3 EC to the jar and shake well.Add water soluble concentrate herbicides to the mixture

last and agitate. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutesand then observe the results. Look for signs of separa-tion: an oily layer or globules, sludge, flakes or otherprecipitates.

5. Evaluate compatibility.(a) If the herbicide(s) and liquid fertilizer mixture does not

separate, use this mixture in your spray tank.(b) If the mixture separates but mixes readily with shak-

ing, the mixture can be used provided that good agi-tation is maintained in the spray tank.

(c) If separation of the mixture occurs and agitation doesnot correct this problem, a compatibility agent isneeded.

6. If the need for a compatibility agent is demonstrated, thefollowing procedure is recommended: Using a cleanquart jar, repeat step 1 above and add 1/2 teaspoon ofthe compatibility agent to the liquid fertilizer. Mix well andrepeat steps 2, 3 and 4. If separation or precipitationoccurs with the compatibility agent, DO NOT useProwl® 3.3 EC herbicide with that specific liquidfertilizer.

Ground Applications (Band)Uniformly apply the broadcast equivalent rate and volumeper acre. To determine these:

Ground Applications (Dry Bulk Fertilizer)Apply Prowl 3.3 EC/dry bulk fertilizer mixtures only withground equipment. DO NOT impregnate Prowl 3.3 EConto coated ammonium nitrate or limestone because thesematerials will not absorb the herbicide. Dry fertilizer blendscontaining mixtures of ammonium nitrate or limestone maybe impregnated with Prowl 3.3 EC. A minimum of 200pounds of impregnated dry bulk fertilizer, excluding theweight of ammonium nitrate or limestone, must be appliedper acre.

Use the following formula to determine the amount (inpints) of Prowl 3.3 EC to be impregnated on a ton of drybulk fertilizer based on the rate of fertilizer to be applied peracre:

To impregnate Prowl 3.3 EC on bulk fertilizer, use a closedrotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry bulk fertiliz-er blender equipped with suitable spray equipment. Spraynozzles must be placed to provide uniform coverage ofProwl 3.3 EC onto the fertilizer during mixing.

Apply the Prowl 3.3 EC/dry bulk fertilizer mixture with anaccurately calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. TheProwl 3.3 EC/dry bulk fertilizer mixture must be spreaduniformly on the soil surface.

Chemigation Applications via Sprinkler IrrigationSystemsProwl 3.3 EC may be applied as a chemigation treatmentthrough sprinkler irrigation systems. Refer to Crop-specific Information sections for individual crops.DO NOT apply Prowl 3.3 EC via chemigation to cropsunless specified in Crop-specific Information section.

Apply this product ONLY through a sprinkler irrigation sys-tem of the following type: center pivot, lateral move, endtow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or handmove. DO NOT apply this product through any other type ofsprinkler irrigation system.

Uniform distribution of Prowl 3.3 EC-treated irrigationwater is the sole responsibility of the applicator and isrequired to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide effectivenessor illegal pesticide residues in the crop. If you have anyquestions about calibration, you should contact stateextension service specialists, equipment manufacturers, orother experts.

The system must be properly calibrated (with water only) toensure that the amount of Prowl 3.3 EC applied corre-sponds to the recommended rate. Apply Prowl 3.3 EC in1/2 to 3/4 inches of water during the first sprinkler set (useat least 1 inch of water in the states of Texas, New Mexicoand Oklahoma). Maintain agitation in the injection nursetank to keep a uniform herbicide suspension during appli-cation. When application is complete, flush the system withwater.

Chemigation Instructions (for low volume microsprinklers)Output of low volume sprinkler = 4 to 50 gallons per hour(gph) per emitter. Point of application MUST be aboveground.

Irrigation system should run a sufficient amount of timeprior to Prowl 3.3 EC injection to have all emitters func-tioning properly. After system is operating properly, lengthof injection should be such that at one period of time dur-ing the injection, the first and last emitters in the systemcontain Prowl 3.3 EC-treated water. Add Prowl 3.3 EC tothe supply tank already filled with the volume of waterrequired for the injection period. Maintain proper agitationin Prowl 3.3 EC injection tank. Prowl 3.3 EC should bemixed in clean water and injected down-line from filters.Following Prowl 3.3 EC injection, system should beflushed for a period of time sufficient to clear the line ofProwl 3.3 EC. (If Prowl 3.3 EC application is made duringa normal irrigation cycle, injection should be made duringthe last stage.)

Chemigation Calibration (for low volume microsprinklers)Calculation of use rate is based on wetted area aroundemitters - NOT on tree acres. To determine correct amountof Prowl 3.3 EC, use the following formula:

1. Treated area per each emitter = A A = 3.14 x (radius x radius)

2000Pounds of Dry

Fertilizer per Acrex

Example:If the average distance from emitter to perimeter of wet-ted area measured one inch below soil surface is13 inches, then

A = 3.14 x (13" x 13"),and A = 530.7 square inches.

If there are 300 emitters per acre, then

If the system covers 20 acres, thenC = 1105.6 square feet per acre x 20 acres andC = 22,112 square feet wetted by system.

If the desired application rate per treated acre is 2.4 qtsof Prowl 3.3 EC, then

Special Precautions for Chemigation1. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the

area intended for treatment.2. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide

application to a public water system unless the pesticidelabel-prescribed safety devices for public water systemsare in place.

3. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system andresponsible for its operation, or under the supervision ofthe responsible person, shall shut the system down andmake necessary adjustments should the need arise.

4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function-al, automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent theflow of fluid back toward the injection pump. It must alsocontain a functional, normally closed solenoid-operatedvalve located on the intake side of the injection pumpand connected to the system interlock to prevent fluidfrom being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irri-gation system is either automatically or manually shutdown.

5. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a func-tional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressuredrain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline toprevent water source contamination from backflow. Inaddition, systems must use a metering pump, such as apositive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragmpump) effectively designed and constructed of materialsthat are compatible with pesticides and capable of beingfitted with a system interlock.

6. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain function-al interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesti-cide injection pump when the water pump motor stops,or in cases where there is no water pump, when thewater pressure decreases to the point where pesticidedistribution is adversely affected.

7. The irrigation line or water pump must include a func-tional pressure switch that will stop the water pumpmotor when the water pressure decreases to the pointwhere pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

Chemigation Systems Connected to Public WaterSystems1. Public water system means a system for the provision to

the public of piped water for human consumption if suchsystem has at least 15 service connections or regularlyserves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least60 days out of the year.

2. Chemigation systems connected to public water sys-tems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zonebackflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent inthe water supply line upstream from the point of pesti-cide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the waterfrom the public water system should be discharged intoa reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. Thereshall be a complete physical break (air gap) between theoutlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim ofthe reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter ofthe fill pipe.

3. All chemigation systems connected to public water sys-tems must also follow restrictions listed in the precedingsection titled Chemigation.

Applications via Flooded Basin Irrigation SystemsProwl 3.3 EC may be applied via flooded basin irrigationsystems, but only to the following crops: nonbearing fruitand nut trees, nonbearing vineyards, and alfalfa grown forseed production.

Use Instructions and Precautions for Flooded BasinIrrigation

1. Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied through flooded basinirrigation systems designed to uniformly distribute irri-gation water along the soil surface. Solid set systemsutilizing tall riser for overhead application are excluded.

2. Follow all label recommendations for Prowl 3.3 ECregarding rates per acre, timing of application, andcrop-specific restrictions and limitations.

3. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesti-cide application to a public water system unless thepesticide label-prescribed safety devices for publicwater systems are in place.

4. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation systemand responsible for its operation, or under the supervi-sion of the responsible person, shall shut the systemdown and make necessary adjustments should theneed arise.

5. BASF recommends that Prowl 3.3 EC is mixed withwater at a 1:1 ratio in the injection nurse tank toassist with product flowability. Maintain agitation inthe injection nurse tank to keep a uniform herbicide

7. Systems using a gravity-flow pesticide dispensing sys-tem must meter the pesticide in the water at the headof the field downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity,such as a drop structure or weir box, to decreasepotential for water source contamination from backflowwater.

8. Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticideinjection system must meet the following requirements:• The system must contain a functional check valve,

vacuum-relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropri-ately located in the irrigation pipe to prevent watersource contamination from backflow.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a func-tional automatic quick closing check valve to preventflow of fluids back towards the injection pump.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain afunctional, normally closed solenoid-operated valvelocated on the intake side of the injection pump andconnected to the system interlock to prevent fluidfrom being withdrawn from the supply tank when theirrigation system is either automatically or manuallyshut down.

• The system must contain a functional interlockingcontrol to automatically shut off the pesticide injec-tion pump when the water pump stops.

• The irrigation pipe or water pump must include afunctional pressure switch, which will stop the pumpmotor when the water pressure decreases to thepoint where pesticide distribution is adverselyaffected.

• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a posi-tive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragmpump), of effective design and constructed of materi-als that are compatible with pesticides and capableof being fitted with a system interlock.

• Any alternative to the above safety devices mustconform to the list of EPA-approved alternativedevices.

9. Be sure to regularly measure the flow in the field toensure the correct amount of Prowl 3.3 EC is beingmetered into the irrigation water and also regularlymonitor to ensure that treated water is being uniformlydistributed across the field. Flow rates through meter-ing devices and distribution of Prowl 3.3 EC can varywith water temperature and speed of water flow acrossthe field.

10. Uniform distribution of Prowl 3.3 EC-treated irrigationwater is the sole responsibility of the applicator and isrequired to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide effective-ness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop.

11. If you have questions about calibration, you shouldcontact state extension service specialists, equipmentmanufacturers or other experts.

Managing Off-Target Movement

SPRAY DRIFTAvoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibil-ity of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and weather-related factors determines the potential forspray drift. The applicator and grower are responsible forconsidering all these factors when making decisions. It isthe responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift ontonontarget areas.

The following drift management requirements must be fol-lowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial appli-cations to agricultural field crops:1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom

must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air

stream and never be pointed downwards more than45 degrees.

Where states have more stringent regulations, they shouldbe observed.

The applicator should be familiar with and take intoaccount the information covered in the Spray DriftReduction Advisory Information presented below.

INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZEThe most effective way to reduce drift potential is to applylarge droplets. The best drift management strategy is toapply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverageand control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potentialbut will not prevent drift if applications are made improperlyor under unfavorable environmental conditions (see WIND,TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, and TEMPERATUREINVERSIONS).

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZEVolume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highestpractical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flowsproduce larger droplets.

Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer'srecommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lowerpressure produces larger droplets. When high flow ratesare needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increas-ing pressure.

Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz-zles that provide uniform coverage.

Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the sprayis released parallel to the airstream produces largerdroplets than other orientations and is recommended prac-tice. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reducedroplet size and increase drift potential.

Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for theintended application. With most nozzle types, narrowerspray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid- or straight-stream nozzles orientedstraight back produce the largest droplets and the lowestdrift.

BOOM LENGTHFor some use patterns, reducing the effective boom lengthto less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may furtherreduce drift without reducing swath width.

APPLICATION HEIGHTApplications should not be made at a height greater than10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greaterheight is required for aircraft safety. Making applications atthe lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of dropletsto evaporation and wind.

SWATH ADJUSTMENTWhen applications are made with a crosswind, the swathwill be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up anddownwind edges of the field, the applicator must compen-sate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the air-craft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increasewith increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets,etc.).

WINDDrift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size andequipment type, determine drift potential at any givenspeed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due tovariable wind direction and high inversion potential.NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Everyapplicator should be familiar with local wind patterns andhow they affect spray drift.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITYWhen making applications in low relative humidity, set upequipment to produce larger droplets to compensate forevaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when con-ditions are both hot and dry.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONSApplications should not occur during a temperature inver-sion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversionsrestrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspendeddroplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud canmove in unpredictable directions due to the light, variablewinds common during inversions. Temperature inversionsare characterized by increasing temperatures with altitudeand are common on nights with limited cloud cover andlight to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets andoften continue into the morning. Their presence can beindicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present,inversions can also be identified by the movement ofsmoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke genera-tor. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrat-ed cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates aninversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dis-sipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

SENSITIVE AREASThis pesticide should only be applied when the potential fordrift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bod-ies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangeredspecies, or nontarget crops or plants) is minimal (e.g. whenwind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

Additives

Spray adjuvants have little or no influence on performanceof Prowl® 3.3 EC herbicide when applications are madeprior to weed emergence. However, several tank mixeswith Prowl 3.3 EC require adjuvants to improve burndownof emerged weeds. Therefore, surfactants, liquid fertilizer(28%, 30%, or 32% UAN (urea ammonium nitrate) orammonium sulfate), or crop oil concentrate may be usedwith Prowl 3.3 EC tank mixes applied preplant, preemer-gence, or early postemergence to the crop. Follow theadjuvant recommendations on the tank mix partner's label.

When an adjuvant (or a specific adjuvant product, such asa drift control agent) is to be used with this product, theuse of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association(CPDA) certified adjuvant is recommended. The recom-mended adjuvants must contain ingredients accepted bythe EPA.

mechanical cultivation, poor weather (such as freezing orexcessive wind, rain, heat, or cold), lack of or excessivemoisture, crusting, fertility, or hardpans. Risk of loss ordamage to crops may be associated with the use ofProwl® 3.3 EC herbicide and contribute to poor standsdue to failure of crop to emerge, swelling of roots or otherbelow-ground plant parts, less vigorous plant growth anddevelopment, and reduction in yield potential.Prowl 3.3 EC may also cause injury to sensitive rotationalcrops.

Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied by ground, air, chemigation,flooded basin irrigation systems, or on dry bulk fertilizer.

Use Methods, Timings and RatesEstablished Alfalfa Grown for Seed Production (defined asalfalfa planted in the fall or spring that has gone through asummer season of cutting/mowing):

Uniformly apply Prowl 3.3 EC at a broadcast rate of 1.2 to4.8 quarts per acre prior to weed emergence in one of thefollowing ways:1. Apply to dormant established alfalfa.2. Apply before alfalfa exceeds 10 inches in height after first

mowing/beating.3. Once the alfalfa reaches 10 inches in height or if the

alfalfa has been mowed/beaten two or more times,Prowl 3.3 EC must be applied with drop nozzlesdirecting the spray so that there is little to no contactwith the foliage.

Chemigation ApplicationsProwl 3.3 EC may be applied through sprinkler irrigationsystems. Follow all recommendations, special instructionsand precautions in the general section coveringChemigation in Spraying Instructions.

Flooded Basin Irrigation SystemsProwl 3.3 EC may be applied in flooded basin irrigationsystems. Follow all recommendations, special instructionsand precautions in the general section covering FloodedBasin Irrigation in Spraying Instructions.

Restrictions and Limitations• DO NOT exceed 4.8 quarts of Prowl 3.3 EC per acre in

any one crop season.• Follow all precautions and restrictions on the labels of all

products applied in combination with Prowl 3.3 EC.Always follow the most restrictive label.

• DO NOT apply Prowl 3.3 EC less than 50 days prior toalfalfa harvest for forage or hay.

• DO NOT apply Prowl 3.3 EC less than 90 days prior toalfalfa harvest for seed.

• Some stunting and chlorosis of the alfalfa mayoccur with postemergence applications.

• Applications made after the alfalfa exceeds 6 inch-es in height may result in poor weed control due topossible reduced spray coverage to the soil.

Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied by ground, air orchemigation.

Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied in conventional, minimum,or no-till as a preemergence, postemergence, or poste-mergence incorporated (CULTI-SPRAY) application in fieldcorn.

Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied in conventional tillage as apreemergence or postemergence application in sweetcorn, seed corn, or popcorn.

Regardless of tillage system, plant corn at least 1-1/2 inches deep and completely cover with soil.

In conventional tillage systems, plant into a seedbed that isfirm and free of clods and trash. Use only where adequatetillage is practiced to provide good soil coverage of thecorn seed.

In no-till systems, utilize a no-till planter that is capable ofplanting through crop residue. The use of no-till plantersunder conditions that do not allow good soil coverage ofthe corn seed can result in reduced crop stand or injury ifProwl 3.3 EC contacts the germinating corn seed. Checkequipment to ensure good seed coverage.

Prowl 3.3 EC or Prowl 3.3 EC tank mix combinationtreatments are most effective in controlling weeds whenadequate rainfall or overhead irrigation is received within 7days after application. If cultivation is necessary because ofsoil crusting or weed germination, use shallow tillage andmake certain corn seeds are below the tilled area.

Additional Weeds Controlled: In addition to the weedslisted in Table 1, Prowl 3.3 EC will control the followingweeds in corn with CULTI-SPRAY application: wild proso millet and shattercane.

Use Methods and TimingsPreemergence - Apply after planting but before weedsand crop emerge.

Postemergence - Apply postemergence until field corn is30 inches tall (20 to 24 inches tall for pop, seed and sweetcorn) or in the V8 growth stage, whichever is more restric-tive. If the corn canopy prevents applications from reachingthe soil, use drop nozzles and apply as a directed spray.

CULTI-SPRAY - Apply Prowl 3.3 EC alone orProwl 3.3 EC plus atrazine when field corn is at least4 inches tall until last cultivation (layby). Prowl 3.3 EC plusatrazine must be applied before the field corn reaches12 inches in height.

DO NOT exceed 1.2 lbs ai per acre of atrazine, asspecified on the atrazine label. Under situations of lowrainfall or soil moisture when deep germinating weeds suchas shattercane or field sandbur are anticipated, mechanicalincorporation will provide best results. If cultivation is need-ed after application and incorporation of Prowl 3.3 EC, the

Prowl 3.3 EC may be applied as a delayed preemergenceapplication in drilled dry-seeded rice or as an early poste-mergence application in dry-seeded rice. Treatments maybe applied to conventional, reduced or minimum tillage,and no-till (stale seedbed) rice. The seedbed should be firmand free of clods and must be prepared to allow for goodseed coverage. The use of a planter under conditions thatdo not allow good soil coverage of the rice seed can resultin reduced stand or stunting if Prowl 3.3 EC contacts ger-minating rice seed.

Additional Weeds Controlled: In addition to the weedslisted in Table 1, Prowl 3.3 EC will control the followingweeds in rice: junglerice and sprangletop.

Use Methods and Timings

Delayed Preemergence - Apply Prowl 3.3 EC alone orwith tank mix partner for delayed preemergence weed con-trol in grain-drilled, dry-seeded rice. Apply Prowl 3.3 ECalone or in tank mixture to levees after the levees are pulledand planted. Exposed seeds that come in contact withProwl 3.3 EC may be injured. Apply only when growingconditions favor vigorous rice growth. The seedbed shouldhave adequate moisture for seed germination. Not for usein California.

Uniformly apply the recommended rate of Prowl 3.3 ECafter rice planting and before rice and weed emergence(spiking). Apply after the rice seed has absorbed water andgerminated and after the soil has been previously sealedover the seed by at least 1 inch of rainfall or by irrigation(flush). If the soil has not been sealed by rain or flush, applywhen 80 percent of germinated seeds have a primary root(radicle) or shoot at least 1/2-inch long. If there is insuffi-cient moisture, flushing is recommended beforeProwl 3.3 EC application to supply moisture for root (radi-cle) initiation and for vigorous rice and weed growth.

If applied to soil prior to these conditions or to cracked soil,stand reduction or stunting of rice may occur. Under someconditions, use of gibberellic acid-treated seed, heavy

rainfall after application, or flushing after application mayresult in herbicide injury to rice. Rice can overcome moder-ate injury with appropriate cultural practices.

Due to the residual activity of Prowl 3.3 EC, this treatmentmay be applied if rice is too small to maintain a flood on thefield for weed control. However, proper water managementpractices must be followed for normal rice growth andactivity of Prowl 3.3 EC.

Early Postemergence - Apply Prowl 3.3 EC as a tankmix partner. Base applications on weed and crop sizeguidelines of the tank mix partner. DO NOT apply to fieldswith standing water. If necessary, fields may be flushedprior to treatment to produce vigorous rice and weedgrowth. Since soil and weeds must be completely exposedto spray coverage, no flood water should be on the field atthe time of application. Cloddy soil, standing water (pud-dles) at the time of application, or cracks in the soil thatform after application may result in reduced weed control.Because of residual activity of Prowl 3.3 EC, this treat-ment may be applied if rice is too small to maintain a floodon the field for weed control. However, proper water man-agement practices must be followed for normal rice growthand activity of Prowl 3.3 EC.

Since the residual activity of Prowl 3.3 EC is activated bymoisture, Prowl 3.3 EC is most effective in controllingemerging weeds when adequate rainfall or irrigation (flush)is received within 7 days after application.
