| Registered Uses |
Corn/atrazine. |
| Benefit |
Improved postemergence activity of atrazine. |
| Mode of Action |
Partially dissolves waxy cuticle of weeds allowing
atrazine to penetrate more readily. |
| Mixing |
Fill spray tank with water allowing space for subsequent
addition of atrazine and oil; engage agitation and pour in premixed
slurry of atrazine in water; add Kornoil last. Avoid excessive
agitation of the spray mix as this may cause coagulation or buttering
out. |
| Unique Characteristics
|
To prevent a build-up of oil in the sprayer, empty
the tank as completely as possible before refilling. Some injury
may occur if the crop is stressed (cold weather or hot, dry weather). |
