A restricted-use pesticide. It can injure sorghum on calcareous soils. Controls small-seeded broadleaf weeds best and suppresses annual grasses and large-seeded broadleaf weeds. Preplant incorporate or apply after planting but before sorghum emerges. In sensitive watersheds, atrazine best management practices suggest that soil surface applications at sorghum planting time should not exceed 1 lb/acre because of high potential for runoff losses. Do not use on coarse-textured soils or other soils with less than 1% organic matter. Choice of rotational crops depends on atrazine rate, soil pH, and time of application. Follow atrazine rate limits and label directions. No-till: Atrazine can be applied to Kansas row-crop stubble from fall harvest to December 31 to control winter annual weeds and reduce the need for burndown herbicide application or preplant tillage in spring on fields to be planted to sorghum. Apply with COC to enhance foliar activity. Tank mixing with 2,4-D LVE and/or dicamba enhances control of dandelion and other broadleaf winter annual weeds. Can be tank mixed with Gramoxone SL to enhance control of cheat, downy brome, and Japanese brome. For highly erodible soils with less than 30% plant residue cover, limit fall application to a maximum of 1.6 lb. Total atrazine applications must not exceed 2.5 lb/acre per calendar year. Do not apply to frozen ground or where soil surface conditions favor wind erosion. Do not plant any crops except corn, grain sorghum, or forage sorghum in the following spring. Follow directions on 24(c) Special Local Need label for Kansas.
