Product Information

For use only on field corn, production seed corn, silage corn, sweet corn, popcorn, Miscanthus or other non-food perennial bioenergy crops. Corn in this label refers to: field corn, production seed corn, silage corn, sweet corn and popcorn.

Overtime  ATZ LITE NXT herbicide may be applied to the surface or incorporated into the top 1-2 inch layer of soil. It may be used for control alone, or in tank mix combinations, for the weeds listed in the "Target Weeds" section of these use directions. Overtime ATZ LITE NXT controls weeds by interfering with normal germination and seedling development. Overtime ATZ LITE NXT does not control emerged weeds present
at application. Use Restrictions

• Not for Sale, Sale Into, Distribution and/or Use in Nassau and Suffolk Counties of New York State.

• Do not use Overtime ATZ LITE NXT on any crop other than field corn, production seed corn, silage corn, popcorn, and Miscanthus or other non-food perennial bioenergy crops.

• Do not apply Overtime ATZ LITE NXT before pre-irrigation in irrigated areas.

• Do not allow Overtime ATZ LITE NXT to contaminate feed or food.

• On the following soil types, do not apply this product within 50 feet of any well where the depth to groundwater is 30 feet or less: sands with less than 3% organic matter; loamy sands with less than 2% organic matter; or sandy loams with less than 1 percent organic matter. See the figure for additional clarification.

This product must not be mixed or loaded within 50 ft. of intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This product must not be applied by ground within 66 feet of the points where field surface water runoff enters perennial or intermittent streams and rivers or within 200 feet around natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. If this product is applied to highly erodible land, the 66-foot buffer or setback from runoff entry points must be planted to crop, seeded with grass or other suitable crop.

• This product must not be mixed or loaded, or used within 50 feet of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sinks holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. Additional State imposed requirements regarding well-head setbacks and operational area containment must be observed.

• Tile-Outletted Fields Containing Standpipes
To ensure protection of surface water from runoff through standpipes with tile-outlets in fields, one of the following restrictions must be used in applying this product to tile-outletted fields containing standpipes:
1. Do not apply this product within 66 feet of standpipes in tileoutletted fields.
2. Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted field and immediately incorporate it to a depth of 2-3 inches in the entire field.
3. Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted field under a no-till practice only when high crop residue management practices are used. High crop residue management is described as a crop management practice where little or no crop residue is removed from the field during or after crop harvest.

• Do not apply Overtime ATZ LITE NXT postemergence to sweet corn.

• Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system unless otherwise directed by approved supplemental labeling in possession of the user at the time of application.

• Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.

• Product must be used in a manner that will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.

• Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to non-target areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion: Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation. Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered soils. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.

Aerial Application: Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment unless otherwise directed by approved supplemental labeling in possession of the user at the time of application,

• Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To minimize spray drift to non-target areas:
Use low-pressure application equipment capable of producing a large droplet spray. Do not use nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray. Minimize drift by using sufficient spray volume to ensure adequate coverage with large droplet size sprays. Keep ground-driven spray boom as low as possible above the target surface.
Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. Avoid application when gusts approach 15 mph.
• Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to sensitive areas. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply during inversion conditions.
• Flush sprayer with clean water after use.

Maximum Atrazine Application Rates Per Calendar Year:
Maximum annual atrazine broadcast application rates for corn must be as follows:
• If no atrazine was applied prior to corn emergence, apply a maximum of 2.0 pounds active ingredient (contained in 4.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT; however do not apply more than 2.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT, per maximum acetochlor rate restrictions below) per acre. If postemergence treatment is required following an earlier herbicide application, the total atrazine applied may not exceed 2.5 pounds active ingredient per acre per calendar year. Note: One quart per acre Overtime ATZ LITE NXT delivers 0.425 pound active ingredient atrazine per acre.
• Apply a maximum of 2.0 pounds active ingredient (contained in 4.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT; however do not apply more than 2.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT, per maximum acetochlor rate restrictions below) per acre if a single preemergence application is made on soils that are not highly erodible or on highly erodible soil if at least 30% of the soil is covered with plant residues, or
• Apply a maximum of 1.6 pounds active ingredient (contained in 3.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT; however do not apply more than 2.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT, per maximum acetochlor rate restrictions below) per acre as a single preemergence application on highly erodible soils if less than 30% of the soil is covered with plant residues; or 2.0 pounds active ingredient (contained in4.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT; however do not apply more than 2.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT, per maximum acetochlor rate restrictions below) per acre if only applied postemergence.

Maximum Acetochlor Application Rates Per Calendar Year:
Maximum annual acetochlor broadcast application rates for corn must not exceed 3.0 pounds active ingredient (2.7 quarts Overtime ATZ LITE NXT ) per acre. Note: One quart per acre Overtime ATZ LITE NXT delivers 1.075 pound active ingredient acetochlor per acre.

Preharvest Interval: Do not apply Overtime ATZ LITE NXT within 60 days of harvest for field corn forage uses or 45 days for sweet corn forage uses.
• Postemergence applications of Overtime ATZ LITE NXT to corn must be made before the crop reaches 11 inches in height.

Use Precautions • Failure to strictly follow label directions may result in exceeding
the maximum annual atrazine use rates as stipulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.
• Note: This product contains atrazine and thus may not control weedsthat are known or suspected to be triazine resistant. Following many years of continuous use of atrazine and chemically related products, biotypes of some of the weeds listed on this label have been reported which cannot be effectively controlled by atrazine and related herbicides. Where this is known or suspected and weeds controlled by atrazine are expected to be present along with resistant biotypes, it is recommended that atrazine be used in combinations or in sequence with other registered herbicides which are not triazines. If only resistant biotypes are expected to be present, use a registerednon-triazine herbicide.
• Overtime ATZ LITE NXT should not be used on corn seed stock such as Breeders, Foundation, or Increase.
• Do not contaminate irrigation water used for crops other than corn or water used for domestic purposes.
• Overtime ATZ LITE NXT should not be stored near seeds, fertilizers,or foodstuffs.
• All containers of Overtime ATZ LITE NXT should be kept tightly closed when not in use.
• Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, Overtime ATZ LITE NXT will not harm the treated crop. Duringgermination and early stages of growth, extended periods ofunusually cold and wet or hot and dry weather, insect or plant disease attack, carryover pesticide residues, the use of certain soil applied systemic insecticides, improperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides may create abnormal conditions that weaken crop seedlings. Overtime ATZ LITE NXT used under these abnormal conditions could result in crop injury
