PRODUCT INFORMATION
THIDIAZURON 4 SC, a harvest aid compound, is used for leaf removal prior to cotton harvest. THIDIAZURON 4 SC can be used in aircraft or ground equipment and is easily dispersed in water. Several days may pass before effects of treatment may be observed. Low temperature and other adverse conditions may require longer times and/or higher dosages for adequate defoliation. THIDIAZURON 4 SC diminishes lint staining at the time of harvest and ginning by slowing regrowth.

USE RESTRICTIONS
This product is not to be applied through any type of irrigation system. The efficacy of THIDIAZURON 4 SC will be diminished if rainfall occurs within 24 hours post application. Foliage from treated plants or gin trash is not to be fed to livestock. Do not use immature crops for feed. Rotation to the folio wing crops re quires th e minimum of the specified periods below after the last application of THIDIAZURON 4 SC.
small grains, sorghum, corn, or root crops (except carrots, onions or sugar beets) ........... two (2) weeks
legumes (including alfalfa) or leafy vegetables (except lettuce and spinach) .................... two (2) months
sugar beets ..................................................................................................... .four (4) months
carrots, onions and spinach .................................................................................. nine (9) months
lettuce ........................ ONLY when soil has been deep-plowed (12-15 inches) ............ nine (9) months
To avoid defoliation of a nd injury to other plant species, prevent spray drift from con tacting crops other than mature cotton.
Mixtures with organophosphate products can increase non-target crop phytotoxicity. Exercise additional care when lettuce, citrus, cantaloupes or any other edible crops are adjacent to THIDIAZURON 4 SC treated fields.

APPLICATION
Use an adequate volume of water with the specified amount of THIDIAZURON 4 SC defoliant to uniformly and completely cover leaves. For ground equipment, apply 10 - 25 gallon per acre and by air, use 3 -10 gallons per acre. Maintain agitation during application. Do not allow mixed spray solution to stand overnight.

DOSAGE
Application Rate: Use 0.125 Ib ai/A (4 fl oz/A). You will be able to make applications to 20-40 acres with one gallon of this product. When under low temperatures of 60° - 65°F, use the higher rate of 0.2 Ib ai/A (6.4 fl oz/A). When defoliating rank cotton, two applications are sometimes required for adequate defoliation. Maximum of two applications, but not to exceed 0.3 Ib ai/A per year.
Maximum application rate of 0.3 Ib ai/A per year (9.6 fl oz/A).
For cutout and mature cotton under normal weather patterns use Thidiazuron 4 SC at 0.05 to 0.10 Ib ai/A. The 0.05 Ib rate is most effective when used in a tank mix with other cotton defoliant products. Increased rates of Thidiazuron 4 SC above 0.10 Ib of ai/per acre may be needed to defoliate and control regrowth during periods of rank growth/high fertilizer conditions, extreme weather conditions, such as extended periods of rain and/or low temperatures (60'-65'F) and on full-season cotton varieties.
