DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or persons, either directly or indirectly through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
FAIR 80 SP is a tailor-made water-soluble powder (SP) formulated exclusively for use on tobacco. The active ingredient is the systemic growth retardant Maleic-Hydrazide (MH) in the form of the potassium salt (KMH). This formulation contains an agricultural surfactant (wetting agent) to facilitate better "sticking" especially under adverse weather conditions. It is necessary to apply FAIR 80 SP at the correct time, in the correct amounts, and in equal amounts to each plant, in order to obtain optimum sucker control. FAIR 80 SP should be applied to the upper 1/3 to 1/2 of the plant for best results. Plants to be sprayed should be dry and free of dew at the time of application. Best results are obtained when FAIR 80 SP is applied on humid mornings after the dew has disappeared from the plants.
Avoid application of FAIR 80 SP during the hot, mid-day or afternoon sun. FAIR 80 SP sprays should not be applied to the undersides of leaves since undesireablely high MH residues may result. It is important to use the correct amount of FAIR 80 SP and to follow directions carefully. Do not use too much of it. Too little will not achieve the proper sucker control. Rinse the spray tank and equipment before and after each use but do not contaminate waters by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. FAIR 80 SP normally requires a minimum of 6 hours contact with the plant for full results. Rain occurring within six hours of spraying may reduce effectiveness. Also extremely dry weather conditions reduce the optimum effect. FAIR 80 SP is a TRUE SYSTEMIC which is absorbed by the tobacco leaves and spreads throughout the entire plant. Please follow directions carefully.
Mixing Instructions:
Follow the steps below when mixing this product, including if tank mixed with other pesticide products. If being tank mixed, the mixing directions 1 through 9 below take precedence over the mixing directions of the other tank mix products. WSPs may, in some cases, be mixed with other pesticide products so long as the directions for use of all mixed products do not conflict. Do not tank mix this product with products that prohibit tank mixing or have conflicting mixing directions.
1. If a basket or strainer is present in the tank hatch, remove prior to adding the WSP to the tank.
2. Fill tank with water to approximately one-third to one-half of the desired final volume of spray.
3. Stop adding water and stop any agitation.
4. Place intact/unopened WSP(s) into the tank.
5. Do not spray water from a hose or fill pipe to break or dissolve the WSP(s).
6. Start mechanical and recirculation agitation from the bottom of tank without using any overhead recirculation, if possible. If overhead recirculation cannot be turned off, close the hatch before starting agitation.
7. Dissolving the WSP(s) may take up to 5 minutes or longer, depending on water temperature, water hardness and intensity of agitation.
8. Stop agitation before tank lid is opened.
9. Open the lid to the tank, exercising caution to avoid contact with dusts or spray mix, to verify that the WSPs have fully dissolved and the contents have been thoroughly mixed into the solution.
10. Do not add other allowed products or complete filling the tank until the bags have fully dissolved and pesticide is thoroughly mixed.
11. Once the WSP have fully dissolved and any other products have been added to the tank, resume filling the tank with water to the desired level, close the tank lid, and resume agitation.
12. Use the spray solution when mixing is complete.
13. Maintain agitation of the diluted pesticide mix during transport and application.
14. It is unlawful to use any registered pesticide, including WSPs, in a manner inconsistent with its label.
