All applicable directions, restrictions, precautions, and Conditions of Sale and Warranty are to be followed. This labeling must be in the user's possession during application.

General Information
Pix Concentrate plant regulator is a foliar applied plant regulator that modifies the cotton plant in several beneficial ways. It is the only such compound that allows the grower to manage the cotton plant for short-season production leading to reduced risk of harvest. The use of Pix Concentrate will also result in several or all of the following:
• Height reduction and more open canopy
• Better early boll retention and/or larger bolls
• Less boll rot
• Improved defoliation
• Reduced trash and lower ginning cost
Most of these effects often favorably influence the yield potential of the cotton plant. The purple color of Pix Concentrate may fade under some conditions; however, effectiveness is not related to color of spray solution or the color of Pix Concentrate

Spray Coverage
Under most circumstances, water is the recommended diluent, however oil is permitted in the following states low volume (ULA) aerial applications: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Refer to Air and Ground Application sections for spray volumes. Regardless of method or gallonage of application, through coverage of the cotton foliage is required.
Cleaning Application Equipment
Clean application equipment thoroughly using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer's directions before and after applying this product, particularly if a product with no potential to injure crops was used.

Application Instructions
Early Application
On both short-staple and Pima cotton, the grower has the option oflow-rate multiple applications (see Table 1) or higher, less frequent dosages (see Table 2) which greatly facilities his management flexibility. The multiple application option gives the producer the ability to discontinue usage of Pix Concentrate if any significant stresses occur after an earlier application. In such case, the total quantity of Pix Concentrate used over a season may be reduced. If stress is relieved, the grower has the option of continuing treatments with Pix Concentrate. In addition, the rate and timing ranges indicated in the Application Rates and Timings Tables allow the grower to tailor his usage of Pix Concentrate 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 VII. General Restrictions and Limitations)
Fields should be carefully scouted and Pix Concentrate 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 (at matched square in the absence of stress), the rate and timing of subsequent applications will depend on vegetative vigor. Under good growing conditions, additional treatments should be made at 7-14 day intervals. However, if new growth at any time is excessive, higher rates of Pix Concentrate can be used.
If significant lass 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 Pix Concentrate is increased - excess vegetative growth is likely because of poor fruit load.

Late Season Application
Late application of Pix Concentrate (approximately during the fourth to sixth week of blooming) can provide certain benefits to cotton. However, it should not and does not substitute for early season use - the time of the greatest benefit from the use of Pix Concentrate. Late season application can lead to one or more of the following:
• Reduction in late season vegetative growth or regrowth after cutout or defoliation
• More complete and manageable cutout
• Better defoliation
• Earlier maturity
• Reduction in trash
• Lower ginning cost
Some of these effects may favorably influence the yield potential and fiber quality. A late season application of Pix Concentrate should be applied only if fields are not drought or nutrient stressed; that is, those fields likely to experience additional vegetative growth or regrowth. However, fields that are very rank and extremely vigorous due to a combination or poor boll load and excellent growing conditions may not respond as much as desired to late season applications at the suggested rates.
