PRODUCT INFORMATION
Accel is a plant growth regulator intended to be used as part of a comprehensive fruit thinning program. When used according to label directions on healthy, well-managed trees and under favorable weather conditions (see General Instructions), Accel may provide one or both of the following benefits in some varieties:
1. Fruit thinning
2. Increased fruit size

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• When a range of rates is indicated, use the concentration and spray volume recommended locally by the Valent agricultural specialist.
• For optimum effectiveness, thorough spray coverage must be achieved. All parts of the plant or crop must receive the spray or desired results will not occur. Approximately 85% ofthe spray volume should be directed into the upper two-thirds of the trees.
• Applications of Accel are most effective when ambient air temperature is around 75°F. If possible, avoid spraying Accel when ambient air temperatures are below 40°F or above 90°F. For best results, apply Accel just prior to a warming trend, or when there are likely to be 2 to 3 days of temperatures above 70°F.
• Accel applications made under slow drying conditions (medium to high relative humidity, and no wind) will increase absorption by the plant, thus optimizing effectiveness.
• Published data have shown that naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) can cause pygmy fruit development in some varieties in some areas. Please consult your local Valent agricultural specialist for recommendations before including NAA and Accel in a thinning program.
• For best results, the water pH should be near neutral (PH 7) and always below 8.5.

Mixing Instructions: Add the required amount of Accel to a spray tank about half-filled with water. Agitate while bringing the total volume of water to the required level. New solutions should be mixed only in a clean, empty spray tank, and used within 24 hours. Discard any unused spray material following local, state, or Federal law.
