3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION Palisade XT is a plant growth regulator (PGR) which acts by inhibiting the production of gibberellic acid. It shortens the internodes on grasses grown for seed and cereals which results in a reduction in lodging. It also acts as a PGR in sugarcane by shortening the internodes which improves seed piece production and when used prior to harvest, increases and/or maintains the sugar content for an extended harvest window. Applications to clover result in decreases in crop canopy height and reduced lodging, while reducing the length of time needed for the crop to reach harvest maturity. Palisade XT is rapidly absorbed by the foliage. The PGR effects do not occur through soil uptake.
The activity and performance of Palisade XT is primarily affected by: (1) environmental conditions, (2) crop management and cultural practices that affect crop growth and vigor, (3) fertility level, (4) moisture availability, (5) plant vigor, and (6) crop growth stage.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS All applications must be made according to the use directions that follow. Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good activity. Make up no more spray solution than is needed for application. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur. 4.1 Methods of Application Palisade XT may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground and aerial applications. Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying equipment to give good coverage is essential for good growth regulator effects.
7
4.2 Application Equipment 4.2.1 Nozzles and Pumps Nozzles Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Nozzles must be the same size and uni formly spaced across the boom. Calibrate sprayer before use. It is suggested that screens be used to pr otect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on suction side of pump must be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in t he recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between t he pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations.
Pumps Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this requires recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute. Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation. Do not use air sparge.
For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturers’ and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural recommendations. 4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage Ground Application: Apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of wa ter per acre, unless specified otherwise. Do not apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system. Thorough coverage is necessary for good growth regulator effects.
Aerial Application: Thorough coverage is necessary to provide a good, uniform effect. A minimum of 2 gallons of water per ac re can be used in grasses grown for seed, cereals, clover and sugarcane. Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Do not apply directly to humans or animals. Do not apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system.
8
4.4 Mixing Directions Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Agitate the spray solution bef ore and during application. Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean wa ter after each day’s use and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area. Do not allow spray mixture to stand ov ernight or for prolonged periods of time.
4.4.1 Palisade XT Alone Add ½- ⅔ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add Palisade XT to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Mix in enough water (10-20 gal/A) to thoroughly and uniformly cover crop. Begin application of the spray solution a fter Palisade XT has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.
4.4.2 Tank-Mix Precautions It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. User must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Tank mixes of Palisade XT with other pes ticides, fertilizers, or any other additives not specifically labelled for use with Palisade XT may result in tank mix incompatibility or unsatisfactory performance. In such cases, always check tank mix compatibility by conducting a jar test according to guidance in Section 4.4.3 before actual tank mixing.
4.4.3 Tank-Mix Compatibility Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt container with lid by adding water or other intended carrier such as a liquid fertilizer to the jar. Next, add the appropriate amount of pestici des(s) or tank-mix partner(s) in their relative proportions based on specified label rates. Add tank-mix components separately in the order described in the tank-mixing section, Section 4.4.4. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. After all ingredients have been added, put th e lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10 times to mix. After mixing, let the mixture stand 15–30 minutes and then examine for signs of incompatibility, including obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels or heavy oily film on the jar.
9
If the mixture remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible and can be used. If the mixture is incompatib le, repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the specified label rate. Or, if applicable, slurry dry formulations in water before adding to the jar. If incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, do not use the mixture. After compatibility testing is comple te, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the storage and disposal section, Section 8.0, of this label.
4.4.4 Palisade XT in Tank Mixtures Palisade XT is usually compatible with a ll tank-mix partners listed on this label. To determine the physical compatibility of Palisade XT with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 quart of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. Observe all directions for use, precaut ions, and limitations which appear on tank mix partner label.
Mixing in the Spray Tank Add ½- ⅔ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add the tank mi x partner(s) into the tank in the same order as described above. Allow the material to completely disso lve and disperse into the mix water. Continue agitation while adding the remain der of the water and Palisade XT to the spray tank. Allow Palisade XT to completely disperse. Spray the mixture with the agitator running.
4.4.5 Palisade XT + Quilt® Fungicide, Quilt Xcel®, Trivapro® Fungicide, or Tilt® Fungicide Add 1/2 –2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray tank. While agitating, add Quilt Fungicide (azoxystrobin + propiconazole; EPA Reg. No. 100-1178), Quilt Xcel (azoxystrobin + propiconazole; EPA Reg. No. 100-1324), Trivapro Fungicide (azoxystrobin + propiconazole + benzovindiflupyr; EPA Reg. No. 100-1613), or Tilt Fungicide (propiconazole; EPA Reg. No. 100-617), followed by Palisade XT. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

4.4.6 Spray Additives When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is recommended. 4.5 Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation)
4.5.1 Chemigation Restrictions Apply this product only through center pivot, [solid set], [hand move], [or moving wheel irrigation systems]. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. Apply in 0.1 - 0.25 inches/A of water. Excessive water may reduce efficacy. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Note: Palisade XT is corrosive to many seal materials. Teflon seals are best. Silicone and Santoprene can be used, but must be replaced once a year. Do not use Buna-N, Neoprene, Viton, or PVC seals. 4.5.2 Operating Instructions for Chemigation
- The system must contain a functional ch eck-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water- source contamination from backflow.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must c ontain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must al so contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
- The system must contain functional interl ocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
- The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
- Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials
11
that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 7. Do not apply when wind speed favors dr ift beyond the area intended for treatment.
4.5.3 Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems
- Public water system means a system for t he provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.
- Chemigation systems connect ed to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), back-flow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must c ontain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
- The system must contain functional interl ocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
- Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
- Do not apply when wind speed favors dr ift beyond the area intended for treatment.
4.5.4 Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating Palisade XT through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application. Determine the size of the area to be treated. Determine the time required to apply ⅛-½ inch of water over the area to be treated when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. When applying Palisade XT through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run the system at 80-95% of the manufacturer’s rated capacity. Using water, determine the injecti on pump output when operated at normal line pressure.
12
Determine the amount of Palisade XT requi red to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of Palisade XT an d sufficient water to meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. Make sure the system is fully charged wit h water before starting injection of the Palisade XT solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to full pressure. Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period. Continue to operate the system until t he Palisade XT solution has cleared the sprinkler head.
4.5.5 Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating Palisade XT through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application. Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers. Fill injector solution tank with water and adj ust flow rate to use the contents over a 20- to 30-minute interval. When applying Palisade XT through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Determine the amount of Palisade XT requi red to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of Palisade XT into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the calibration. Stop injection equipment afte r treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until the Palisade XT solution has cleared the last sprinkler head.
5.0 ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS The following crops may be planted at the specified interval following application of Palisade XT. Crop Plantback Interval Wheat Barley Triticale Oats Rye Rice Grasses Grown for Seed Sugarcane Clover 0 days All Other Food or Feed Crops 30 days
13
6.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS 6.1 Use Restrictions DO NOT apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system. DO NOT exceed the maximum application rates listed in Section 7.0.
6.2 Use Precautions Application is not recommended if crops are stressed by drought, disease, or temperatures. When applying, avoid spray overlap as crop injury may occur. 6.3 Spray Drift Management AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. Spray equipment and weather affect spray drift. Consider all factors when making application decisions. Where states or tribes have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
6.3.1 Aerial Applications To reduce the potential for drift, the application equipment must be set to apply medium to coarse droplets (i.e., ASABE Standard 572) with corresponding spray pressure. The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. When applications are made with a crosswind the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.
6.3.2 Ground Applications Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
6.3.3 Controlling Droplet Size Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Follow the nozzle manufacturer’s directions on pressure, orientation, spray volume, etc., in order to minimize drift and optimize coverage and control.
6.3.4 Sensitive Areas Sensitive areas to this product are defined as bodies of water (ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands), known habitats of threatened or endangered species and non-labeled agricultural crop areas. Applicators must take all precautions necessary
14
to keep spray drift from reaching sensitive areas.
6.3.5 Temperature Inversion A surface temperature inversion (i.e., increasing temperature with increasing altitude) greatly increases the potential for drift. The presence of ground fog is a good indicator of a surface temperature inversion. Do not apply during temperature inversions. Always make applications when there is some air movement to determine the direction and distance of possible spray drift.
6.3.6 Wind Avoid making applications when spray particles may be carried by air currents to non- target areas. Do not spray if wind is gusty, below 2 mph, or in excess of 10 mph and moving in the direction of adjacent sensitive areas. Local terrain may influence wind patterns; the applicator must be familiar with local conditions and understand how they may impact spray drift.
6.3.7 Equipment All aerial and ground equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.
