For treatment of winter wheat to produce shorter, thicker, stronger stems for improved lodging resistance and a plant growth regulator for greenhouse grown poinsettias and geraniums

STORAGE
1. Store in original, tightly closed container.
2. Do not ship or store near food, feed, seed or fertilizers.
3. Store in cool, dry, locked, well-ventilated area without floor drain.
4. Herbicides should be shipped or stored separately from other pesticides to avoid crosscontamination.
5. Protect from freezing.

DISPOSAL
Do not reuse this container for any purpose. This is a recyclable container, and is to be disposed of at a container collection site. Contact your local distributor/dealer or municipality for the location of the nearest collection site. Before taking the container to the collection site:
1. Triple- or pressure-rinse the empty container. Add the rinsings to the spray mixture in the tank.
2. Make the empty, rinsed container unsuitable for further use.
If there is no container collection site in your area, dispose of the container in accordance with provincial requirements.
For information on disposal of unused, unwanted product, contact the manufacturer or the provincial regulatory agency. Contact the manufacturer and the provincial regulatory agency in case of a spill, and for clean-up of spills.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Field sprayer application
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.
Winter Wheat
CYCOCEL EXTRA is a plant growth regulator for use on certain varieties of winter wheat in intensive crop management systems. It can produce shorter, thicker and stronger stems and improve lodging resistance. Use only on the varieties listed until local recommendations are developed for use on other varieties.
The use of CYCOCEL EXTRA is usually part of an intensive management program aimed at high yields and improved quality involving application of increased levels of nitrogen. Additional leaf disease incidence may develop. This may require fungicide sprays for maximum yield. Follow local recommendations for fertilizer use and disease control practices.
Greenhouse Plants
CYCOCEL EXTRA is also a plant growth retardant that enhances the aesthetic appearance of geranium and poinsettia. Treated plants are more compact with shorter internodes, stronger stems and smaller darker green leaves.
CYCOCEL EXTRA should only be applied to established plants with healthy root stems. CYCOCEL EXTRA will normally reduce internode elongation for up to three weeks following drench application depending on crop culture, environmental conditions and plant growth habit. Multiple applications can be applied as needed but frequency should be adjusted based on the conditions described above.
CYCOCEL EXTRA when applied as a drench application is absorbed by the roots and transported systemically up into the actively growing shoot tips. The growing media should be uniformly saturated when CYCOCEL EXTRA is applied. Apply the drench to moist growing media and not when crops require irrigation.
The rate and frequency of application of CYCOCEL EXTRA will vary depending on following three factors; greenhouse environment, cultural conditions and cultivar growth differences. CYCOCEL EXTRA is not a substitute for good cultural practices (light, temperature, relative humidity, spacing, and fertilization). Optimal cultural practices for greenhouse production vary with season, day length and geographical location.
Winter Wheat
Timing of Application Correct timing of application is important. Too early an application may lessen the effectiveness on stem shortening. Too late an application can reduce the effect on stem thickening of the lower internodes.
Apply CYCOCEL EXTRA as a spray during good growing conditions in the spring, and apply toward the end of tillering (Feekes large scale growth stage 4-6, as indicated on chart outlined below) but not later than when the first node or joint can be felt at the base of the majority of tillers. (Feekes large scale growth stage 7).
Rates of Application
The amount of CYCOCEL EXTRA applied varies with the winter wheat variety grown and the amount, form and timing of nitrogen fertilizer applied. Refer to the APPLICATION RATE TABLE for specific varietal recommendations.
Apply in 200-400 litres of water per hectare.

MIXING
1. Add about half the required water to the spray tank.
2. Add the recommended quantity of CYCOCEL EXTRA, then the remainder of the water.
3. Agitate well before and during spraying.
