GENERAL INFORMATION
PoMaxa Plant Growth Regulator (hereafter referred to as PoMaxa) contains 1- Naphthalene Acetic Acid, Sodium Salt, an auxin that mimics the natural plant growth regulator, 1-indoleaceticacid. PoMaxa is used in commercial fruit production for thinning to increase fruit size and quality, prevention of pre-harvest fruit drop and promoting return bloom on cultivars that are prone to alternate bearing. Fruit tree response to PoMaxa can vary in different years. Review previous year's product performance and consider factors such as cultivar, prevailing and anticipated climaticconditions, location, tree vigor, fruit set potential, pollination before choosing the rate a ad timing of application
Importance of Spray Volume: Use sufficient water to ensure uniform spray coverage. Make ground applications in up to 500 gallons of water per acre. Make aerial applications in 5-20 gallons of water per acre. Consider the spray equipment, density o± the foliage, tree spacing, coverage desired and spray pattern prior to choosing your spray volume. Consider variables in rate and application timing for each cultivar and orchard location prior to establishing the spray program. Consult your Valent Agricultural Specialist for specific recommendations for your particular orchard(s).
Product Compatibility: When diluted with the recommended amount of water, PoMaxa is physically compatible with a wide range of commonly used spray products. However,the full range of compatibility under local conditions must be established by the user. To do so, premix a small quantity of the desired tank mix and look for possible adverse changes (e.g., settling out, flocculation, etc.). Do not spray if any adverse changes are observed. Avoid mixtures of several materials and very concentrated spray mixtures. Follow label precautions and limitations for all products used in any tank mix. Ensure that there is always proper agitation in the tank. To ensure crop safety, spray a small area to test for adverse effects prior to the general use of a tank mix combination that you have not previously used. Consult your local Valent Agricultural Specialist for local recommendations or when tank mixing any product you have not previously used with PoMaxa
Drift Advisory: Do not apply PoMaxa when weather conditions are likely to cause spray drift onto non-target crops.
Maximum Use Rate Per Application: Do not exceed 54 fluid ounces (fl oz) of PoMaxa per acre per application.
Maximum Seasonal Application Rate: Do not exceed 161 fl oz of PoMaxa per acre per season. In California: Do not exceed 54 fl oz of PoMaxa per acre per season.
