Restricted Use Pesticide
Due to Ground and Surface Water Concerns For retail sale to and use only by certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision, and only for those uses covered by the certified applicator's certification. This product is a restricted use herbicide due to ground and surface water concerns. Users must read and follow all precautionary statements and instructions for use in order to minimize potential for atrazine to reach ground and surface water.

Product Information
Marksman herbicide is a water-dispersible formulationfor use in corn, fallow systems, or sorghum to control annual broadleaf weeds and to suppress perennial
broadleaf weeds (refer to Table 1).

Mode of Action
Marksman contains two active ingredients: dicamba and atrazine. Dicamba is readily absorbed by plants through root-and-shoot uptake, translocates throughout the plant's system, and accumulates in areas of active growth. Dicamba interferes with the plant's growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of many broadleaf weeds. Atrazine is absorbed by roots and shoots and controls weeds by inhibiting photosynthesis.

Resistance Management
Dicamba has a low probability of selecting for resistant biotypes. With repeated use, atrazine has selected forresistant biotypes of some weed species. Combining  the two herbicides, which are each active in a similar broadleaf weed spectrum, reduces the risk of selecting for resistant biotypes.

Cleaning Spray Equipment
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to themanufacturer's directions, and then triple  rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product.
