General Notice 1
Mode of Action Pendimethalin, the active ingredient in Prowl H2O, is a Group 3 (WSSA)/Group K1 (HRAC) herbicide belonging to the dinitroaniline chemistry class. Prowl H2O is a meristematic inhibitor that interferes with meristematic plant cell division or mitosis inhibiting germinating seedling growth. Herbicide Resistance Management Prowl H2O is a Group 3 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Prowl H2O and other Group 3 herbicides. Weed species with resistance to Group 3 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 3 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Prowl H2O or other Group 3 herbicides. To delay herbicide resistance consider: - Avoiding the consecutive use of Prowl H2O or other target site-of-action Group 3 herbicides that have a similar target site of action on the same weed species. - Using tank mixes or premixes with herbicides from different target-site-of-action groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action, and are both effective at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern. - Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program including cultural and mechanical methods. - Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy, and control of escapes with effective alternative herbicides or mechanical methods. - Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed-control program needs to consider all of the weeds present. - Scout fields prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. - Scout fields after application to verify the treatment was effective. - Suspected herbicide-resistance weeds may be identified by these indicators: 1. Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; 2. A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and 3. Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. - If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production. - Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your local BASF representative. - Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or manufacturer for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management directions for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. Application Rate Use rates for Prowl H2O when used alone, in tank mix, or for sequential applications are given in Crop-specific Information. Use rates of this product vary by soil texture and organic matter. See Table 3 for soil texture groupings used in this label. DO NOT apply more than the maximum labeled rate of Prowl H2O for any soil type. Table 3. Soil Texture Groups See table on page 6 of Master Label * Sometimes considered transitional soils and may be classified as medium-texture or fine-texture soils. For peat and muck soils. Prowl H2O may be used on peat and muck soils, but weed control may be inconsistent and/or reduced. Use maximum labeled use rate allowed in the specific crop. 
General Notice 2
Preplant Surface Application. For use in minimum-tillage or no-tillage production systems, apply Prowl H2O alone or in tank mixes within 45 days of planting. When making early preplant surface application (15 to 45 days before planting), Prowl H2O should be tank mixed or followed by a postemergence herbicide application. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation after application is required to move this product into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. Preplant Incorporated Application. Apply Prowl H2O and incorporate into the upper (1 inch to 2 inches) soil surface within 60 days of planting. Use an implement capable of giving uniform incorporation; two-pass incorporation usually results in a more consistent result. 
General Notice 3
Preemergence Surface Application. Broadcast treatment uniformly to the soil surface at planting and up to 2 days after planting (refer to Crop-specific Information section for exceptions). Rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or shallow mechanical incorporation after application is required to move this product into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. If adequate rainfall or irrigation does not occur, or soil crusting or soil compaction has occurred, and weed seedling emergence begins, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing or light harrow will improve performance. Make sure that crop seeds are below the tilled soil surface area. 
General Notice 4
Early Postemergence Application. Prowl H2O must be applied before weed seedling emergence or in a tank mix with products that control the emerged weeds. Refer to Crop-specific Information for specific postemergence application instructions by crop. 
General Notice 5
Postemergence Incorporated Application (CULTISPRAY). Before application, crop must be cultivated in such a manner as to throw at least 1 inch of soil over the base of the crop plants. This will prevent direct contact of Prowl H2O and the zone of brace root formation. Prowl H2O must be applied broadcast with a ground sprayer when crop is at least 4 inches tall up to layby. Use drop nozzles if crop foliage will prevent uniform coverage of the soil surface within the rows. Thoroughly and uniformly incorporate Prowl H2O treatments into the soil: 1. With a sweep-type or rolling cultivator set to provide thorough incorporation in the top 1 inch of soil, or 2. With adequate overhead irrigation water or rainfall. See Crop-specific Information (Corn and Grain Sorghum) for more details on (CULTI-SPRAY) application. 
General Notice 6
Layby Application. Apply Prowl H2O directly to the soil between rows as a directed spray after the last normal cultivation (layby). See Crop-specific Information for more details on layby application. 
General Notice 7
Split Application. Prowl H2O may be applied preplant incorporated within 60 days of planting and followed by a preemergence application at planting or up to 2 days after planting (refer to Crop-specific Information section for exceptions). The total amount of Prowl H2O applied per acre per season cannot exceed the highest labeled rate for any given soil type. See Crop-specific Information for more details on split applications. Fall Application. Prowl H2O may be used in fall application programs in certain crops. See Crop-specific Information for details on fall application timing.  
General Notice 8
Surface Incorporated Application. Uniformly apply Prowl H2O as broadcast or banded treatment to soil surface underneath established trees and/or in ground areas between trees rows. Incorporate into upper (1 inch to 2 inches) soil surface using rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or shallow mechanical incorporation using an implement capable of giving uniform incorporation; two-pass mechanical incorporation usually results in a more consistent result. 
General Notice 9
Application Timings Prowl H2O will provide most effective weed control when applied by ground or aerial equipment and subsequently incorporated into soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or mechanical tillage before weed seedling germination. Prowl(R) H2O herbicide can also be applied through chemigation, including flooded basin irrigation systems. Prowl H2O may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorporated, surface incorporated, preemergence, early postemergence, postemergence incorporated (CULTI-SPRAY), or by layby treatment. See Crop-specific Information for specific application directions and restrictions by crop.  
General Notice 10
Application Instructions Prowl H2O may be applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer (including straight 32-0-0 or 28-0-0) as the spray carrier. DO NOT apply Prowl H2O after crop emergence (postemergence) in sprayable liquid fertilizers. Additionally, Prowl H2O may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer. For all applications, avoid overlapping that could result in possible crop injury.  
General Notice 11
Aerial Application Uniformly apply in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. Spray Drift Management for Aerial Applications - DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. - Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). - DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft or 75% of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft or 90% of the rotor diameter for helicopters. - Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. - Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. - DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. 
General Notice 12
Ground Application (Broadcast) Uniformly apply in 10 or more gallons of water per acre or 20 or more gallons of liquid fertilizer per acre. Keep the bypass line on or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Nozzle and in-line screens must be no finer than 50 mesh. Ground Application (Band) Uniformly apply the broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre. Calculate: band width in inches/ row width in inches x broadcast rate per acre = band rate per acre and width in inches/ row width in inches x broadcast volume per acre = band volume per acre Spray Drift Management for Ground Applications: - Applicators must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. - Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). - DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. - DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. Ground Application (Dry Bulk Fertilizer) Apply Prowl H2O/dry bulk fertilizer mixtures only with ground equipment. See Crop-specific Information for crops suitable for dry bulk fertilizer applications. DO NOT impregnate Prowl H2O onto coated ammonium nitrate or limestone because these materials will not absorb the herbicide. Dry fertilizer blends containing mixtures of ammonium nitrate or limestone may be impregnated with Prowl H2O. A minimum of 200 pounds of impregnated dry bulk fertilizer, excluding the weight of ammonium nitrate or limestone, must be applied per acre. Calculate the amount of Prowl H2O impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fertilizer based on the rate of fertilizer to be applied per acre: 2000/pounds of dry of fertilizer per acre x Prowl H2O (rate per acre) = Prowl H2O per ton of fertilizer To impregnate Prowl H2O on bulk fertilizer, use a closed rotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender equipped with suitable spray equipment. Spray nozzles must be placed to provide uniform coverage of Prowl H2O onto the fertilizer during mixing. Apply the Prowl H2O/dry bulk fertilizer mixture with a calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. The Prowl H2O/dry bulk fertilizer mixture must be spread uniformly on the soil surface. 
General Notice 13
Chemigation Application via Sprinkler Irrigation and Drip Irrigation Systems Prowl H2O may be applied as a chemigation treatment through sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation systems. Refer to Crop-specific Information sections for individual crops. DO NOT apply Prowl H2O via chemigation to crops unless specified in Crop-specific Information section. Apply this product ONLY through a sprinkler irrigation system of the following type: center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move. Apply this product ONLY through a drip irrigation system that has emitters above the soil surface. DO NOT apply this product through any other type of sprinkler irrigation or drip irrigation system. Uniform distribution of Prowl(R) H2O herbicide-treated irrigation water is the sole responsibility of the applicator and is required to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop. If you have any questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. The system must be calibrated (with water only) to ensure the amount of Prowl H2O applied corresponds to the specified rate. Apply Prowl H2O in 1/2 to 3/4 inch of water during the first sprinkler set (use at least 1 inch of water in the states of New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas). BASF recommends mixing Prowl H2O with water at a 1:1 ratio in the injection nurse tank to assist with product flowability. Maintain agitation in the injection nurse tank to keep a uniform herbicide suspension during application. When application is complete, flush the system with water. Chemigation Instructions (for low-volume micro sprinklers) Output of low-volume sprinkler equals 4 to 50 gallons per hour (gph) per emitter. Point of application MUST be above ground. Irrigation system should run a sufficient amount of time before Prowl H2O injection to have all emitters functioning properly. After system is operating properly, length of injection should be such that at one period of time during the injection, the first and last emitters in the system contain Prowl H2O-treated water. Add Prowl H2O to the supply tank already filled with the volume of water required for the injection period. Maintain agitation in Prowl H2O injection tank. Mix Prowl H2O in clean water and inject down-line from filters. After Prowl H2O injection, flush system for a period of time sufficient to clear the line of Prowl H2O. (If Prowl H2O is applied during a normal irrigation cycle, make injection during the last stage.) Chemigation Calibration (for low-volume micro sprinklers) Calculation of use rate is based on wetted area around emitters - NOT on tree acres. To calculate amount of Prowl H2O: 1. Treated area per each emitter = A A = 3.14 x (radius x radius) 2.The area in square feet wet in each acre = B B = A x emitters/acre/ 144 3. The total area (in square feet) wet by your system = C C = B x acres covered by system 4. Rate per treated acre of Prowl H2O (based on length of control desired) = R Amount of Prowl H2O to inject = S S = C/43,560 x R = qts of Prowl H2O Example: If the average distance from emitter to perimeter of wetted area measured 1 inch below soil surface is 13 inches, then A = 3.14 x (13 inches x 13 inches) and A = 530.7 square inches If there are 300 emitters per acre, then B = 530.7 x 300/144 and B = 1105.6 square feet wetted per acre If the system covers 20 acres, then C = 1105.6 square feet per acre x 20 acres and C= 22,112 square feet wetted by system If the desired application rate per treated acre is 2.0 qts of Prowl H2O, then S = 22,112/43,560 x 2.0 and S = 1.0 qt = amount of Prowl H2O to inject 43,560 into the system Special Instructions for Chemigation 1. 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 pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. 3. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. 4. Recirculate and/or contain tail water (runoff water) from chemigation that contains Prowl H2O in the field in a cistern or holding reservoir from the initial application and/or use only on adjacent, approved crops for which Prowl H2O is registered for this type of application. 5. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. It must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is automatically or manually shut down. 6. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. In addition, systems must use a metering pump, including a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 7. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 8. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems 1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, discharge the water from the public water system into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. 3. All chemigation systems connected to public water systems must also follow restrictions listed in the preceding sections involving Chemigation. 
General Notice 14
Application via Flood, Flooded Basin, or Gravity Flow Irrigation Systems Prowl(R) H2O herbicide may be applied via flood, flooded basin, or gravity flow irrigation systems, but only to the following crops: alfalfa, bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut trees, bearing and nonbearing olive trees, bearing and nonbearing vineyards, bearing and nonbearing small fruit climbing vines, nonbearing date palm, and nonbearing fig trees. Use Instructions and Restrictions for Flood, Flooded Basin, and Gravity Flow Irrigation 1. Prowl H2O may be applied through flood, flooded basin, or gravity flow irrigation systems designed to uniformly distribute irrigation water along the soil surface. Solid set systems using tall riser for overhead application are excluded. 2. Follow all label directions for Prowl H2O regarding rates per acre, timing of application, and crop-specific restrictions and precautions. 3. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. 4. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. 5. BASF recommends that Prowl H2O is mixed with water at a 1:1 ratio in the injection nurse tank to assist with product flowability. Maintain agitation in the injection nurse tank to keep a uniform herbicide suspension during application. When application is complete, flush the system with water. 6. Systems using a gravity-flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide in the water at the head of the field downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity, including a drop structure or weir box, to decrease potential for water source contamination from backflow water. 7. Tail water (runoff water) from flood, flooded basin, or gravity flow irrigation that contains Prowl H2O must be recirculated and/or contained in the field in a cistern or holding reservoir from the initial application and/or used only on adjacent approved crops for which Prowl H2O is registered for this type of application. 8. Systems using a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following requirements: - The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located in the irrigation pipe to prevent water source contamination from backflow. - The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent flow of fluids back toward the injection pump. - The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is automatically or manually shut down. - The system must contain a functional interlocking control to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump stops. - The irrigation pipe or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. - Systems must use a metering pump, including a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) of effective design and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. - Any alternative to the above safety devices must conform to the list of EPA-approved alternative devices. 9. Regularly measure the flow in the field to ensure the correct amount of Prowl H2O is metered into irrigation water and also regularly monitor to ensure treated water is uniformly distributed across the field. Flow rates through metering devices and distribution of Prowl H2O can vary with water temperature and speed of water flow across the field. 10. Uniform distribution of Prowl H2O-treated irrigation water is the sole responsibility of the applicator and is required to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop. 11. For questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 
General Notice 15
Spray Drift Advisories The applicator is responsible for avoiding off-site spray drift. Be aware of nearby nontarget sites and environmental conditions. Importance of Droplet Size An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom - Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. - Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. - Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft - Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturer's recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. Boom Height - Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. Release Height - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. Shielded Sprayers Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. Temperature Inversion Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. Wind Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. 
General Notice 16
Use Precautions - Prowl H2O will not control established weeds. Destroy emerged weeds before application. - Prowl H2O is most effective in controlling weeds when mechanically incorporated or when incorporated into the weed germination zone by adequate rainfall or overhead irrigation after application. - In the event of a crop loss because of adverse weather conditions or other reasons, any crop registered for a preplant incorporated application of Prowl H2O can be replanted without adverse effects the same year (see Crop-specific Information for exceptions). If replanting is necessary, DO NOT work the soil deeper than the treated zone. - Refer to Crop-specific Information for crop-specific preharvest intervals and feeding and grazing restrictions. 
General Notice 17
Rotational Crop Restrictions - Use of Prowl H2O in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various environmental and agronomic factors, including arid conditions, make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. Soil characteristics and environmental conditions which may contribute to crop stress that may be accentuated by the use of Prowl H2O include: coarse soils, compaction, high salinity, eroded knolls/hilltops, cold and/or wet soils, drought, and heavy rainfall soon after application. - When Prowl H2O is used in tank mix or sequential combinations, refer to label of other herbicides for additional rotational crop restrictions. - After harvest of furrow-irrigated crops, thoroughly mix the soil by plowing or deep disking to minimize the potential for herbicide carryover to the following crop. - Refer to Crop-specific Information for specific rotational restrictions when Prowl H2O is applied to specific crops. - Restrictions for rotational cropping after the use of Prowl H2O depend on the application use rate of Prowl H2O in the primary crop. The user must thoroughly read the following restrictions to determine the rotational crops for the specific situation, according to application use rate. For field and row crops, see the table following. Orchard, Grove, and Vineyard Crops In the growing season after application of Prowl H2O to bearing fruit and nut trees, or grapes, plant only those crops for which Prowl H2O is labeled for preplant incorporated treatment or crop injury may occur. DO NOT rotate to other crops (except for fruit and nut trees, or grapes) for 24 months after Prowl H2O application. 
General Notice 18

Applicators must use Bulletins that are in effect in the month in which the pesticide will be applied. New Bulletins will be available from the above sources 6 months before their effective dates. 
General Notice 19
Additives Spray adjuvants have little or no influence on performance of Prowl(R) H2O herbicide when applications are made before weed emergence. However, several tank mixes with Prowl H2O require adjuvants to improve burndown of emerged weeds. Therefore, surfactants, liquid fertilizer (28%, 30%, or 32% UAN [urea ammonium nitrate] or AMS [ammonium sulfate]), or crop oil concentrate (COC) may be used with Prowl H2O tank mixes applied preplant, preemergence, or early postemergence to the crop. Follow the adjuvant directions on the tank mix partner's label. The adjuvants must contain ingredients accepted by the Environmental Protection Agency. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant.  
General Notice 20
Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial spray cleaner according to the manufacturer's directions; then triple rinse the equipment before and after applying this product. 
Tank Mix Information
Spray Mix Compatibility Test
If liquid fertilizer and/or herbicide(s) mixture separates in the spray tank, clogged equipment and uneven application can result. Always predetermine the compatibility of Prowl H2O alone or with other herbicides based on the following 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 ratio required) to the liquid fertilizer. To calculate teaspoons of the formulation to add:

lbs or pts of product/acre/gallons of fertilizer/acre x 11.4 = teaspoons of herbicide to add to 1 pint of fertilizer

3. Close the jar and agitate until the herbicide(s) are evenly dispersed in the liquid fertilizer. If the materials do not disperse well, it may be necessary to slurry the chemicals in water before adding to the fertilizer.
4. After dispersing the materials, add appropriate number of teaspoons of Prowl H2O to the jar and shake well.
Add water soluble concentrate herbicides to the mixture last and agitate. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes;
then observe the results. Look for signs of separation: an oily layer or globules, sludge, flakes or other precipitates.
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 shaking, the mixture can be used if good agitation is maintained in the spray tank.
c. If separation of the mixture occurs and agitation does not correct this problem, a compatibility agent is needed.
6. If the need for a compatibility agent is demonstrated, BASF recommends the following procedure: Using a clean quart jar, repeat step 1 above and add 1/2 teaspoon of the compatibility agent to the liquid fertilizer.
Mix well and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4. If separation or precipitation occurs with the compatibility agent, DO NOT use Prowl(R) H2O herbicide with that specific liquid fertilizer.

Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Prowl H2O may be tank mixed or applied sequentially with other herbicide products registered for use in any labeled crop found in this label for a broader spectrum of residual weed control and/or control of emerged weeds.
Refer to the tank mix product labels to confirm that the respective tank mix products are registered for use on the labeled crop. Read and follow tank mix product labels for application instructions, use restrictions and precautions, and rotational cropping guidance. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Always perform a mixing test to check the compatibility of Prowl H2O with all potential tank mix partners.

Mixing Instructions
1. Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water or liquid fertilizer and agitate. Before mixing Prowl H2O or Prowl H2O tank mixes in liquid fertilizer, refer to appropriate label sections for specified uses in liquid fertilizer, application instructions, and compatibility determinations.
NOTE: Prowl H2O will NOT mix in high salt formulation fertilizers, including 10-34-0. When using high salt formulation fertilizers as the spray carrier, use one of the following:
a. Pre-slurry Prowl H2O in water before adding to tank; use 1:1 ratio of water to Prowl H2O.
b. Add water to fertilizer solution before adding Prowl H2O. The amount of water should be equal to or more than the amount of Prowl(R) H2O herbicide to be used.
2. Prowl H2O Alone
When using Prowl H2O alone, add Prowl H2O to the partially filled tank while agitating; then fill the remainder of the tank with water or liquid fertilizer.
3. Prowl H2O Tank Mixes
Add the tank mix ingredients in the following order before adding Prowl H2O:
a. Wettable Powder (WP) formulations. Make a slurry of the WP in water (1:2 ratio). Add the slurry slowly into the partially filled tank while agitating.
b. Dry Flowable (DF)/Water-dispersible Granule (WDG) formulations. Add the granules to the partially filled tank while agitating. Make a slurry of the granules in water before adding to liquid fertilizer.
c. Flowable (F) formulations. Add the F formulation to the partially filled tank while agitating.
d. Add Prowl H2O to the partially filled tank while agitating.
e. Water-soluble Concentrate (WSC) formulations.
Add the WSC formulation to the partially filled tank while agitating.
f. Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations. Add the EC formulation to the partially filled tank while agitating.
Fill the remainder of the tank with water or liquid fertilizer while agitating.
4. Thorough and continuous sprayer-tank agitation MUST be maintained during mixing and spraying of Prowl H2O. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any period of time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed.
