General Information
Pix Ultra plant regulator is a foliar-applied plant regulator that contains a borate additive which can improve early boll retention. Pix Ultra allows the grower to manage the cotton plant for short-season production, reducing the risk of a prolonged harvest. Delayed harvest may lead to yield loss and fiber quality reduction. The use of Pix Ultra will 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 costs better harvest efficiency darker green leaf color. Most of these effects often favorably influence the yield potential of the cotton plant.

Spray Coverage
Under most circumstances, water is the recommended diluent, however oil is permitted in the following states for ultra low volume (ULV) 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, thorough 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 the potential to injure crops was used.

Application Instructions
Early Application
The grower has the option of low-rate multiple applications (see Table 1) or higher, less frequent dosages (see Table 2) which greatly facilitates the grower's management flexibility. The multiple application option gives the producer the ability to discontinue usage of Pix Ultra if any significant stresses occur after an earlier application. In such a case, the total quantity of Pix Ultra used over a season may be reduced. If stress is relieved, the grower has the option of continuing treatments with Pix Ultra. In addition, the rate and timing ranges indicated in the Application Rates and Timings Tables allow the grower to tailor his usage of Fix Ultra 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 VI. General Restrictions and Limitations) Fields should be carefully scouted and Pix Ultra 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.
