GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is a foliar-applied plant regulator that modifies the cotton plant in several beneficial ways. It allows the grower to manage the cotton plant for short-season production leading to reduced risk of yield and quality loss due to delayed and prolonged harvest. The use of this product will often favorably influence the yield potential of the cotton plant through several or all of the following:
- Darker green leaf color
- Better early boll retention and/or larger bolls
- Height reduction and more open canopy
- Less boll rot
- Improved defoliation
- Reduced trash and lower ginning costs
- Better harvest efficiency
The purple color of this product may fade under some conditions; however, effectiveness is not related to color of spray solution or color of this product.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
On both short-staple and Pima cotton, the grower has the option of low-rate multiple applications, (see Table 1) or higher, less frequent dosages (see Table 2) which greatly facilitates management flexibility. The multiple application option gives the grower the ability to discontinue usage of this product if any significant stresses occur after an earlier application. In such a case, the total quantity of this product used over a season may be reduced. If stress is relieved, the grower has the option of continuing treatments with this product. In addition, the rate and timing ranges indicated in Table 1 and Table 2 allow the grower to tailor usage of this product to the degree of vegetative vigor in a given field. In areas where insecticides, miticides or foliar fertilizers are frequently applied, the timings are such that tank mixing is often possible. (See section General Tank Mixing Information). Fields should be carefully scouted and this product should not be applied if plants are under severe stress from weather factors, mite, insect or nematode damage, disease stress, herbicide injury or fertility stress. In the absence of these stresses, up to 5 low-rate multiple applications can be made each season.
After the first application, the rate and timing of subsequent applications will depend on vegetative vigor. Under good growing conditions, additional treatments should be made at 7 to 14 day intervals. However, if new growth at any time is excessive, higher rates of this product can be used. If significant loss of squares or young bolls has occurred earlier due to insect pressure or other stresses, but now these stresses have been alleviated, the need for this product is increased as excess vegetative growth is likely due to the poor fruit load.
