GENERAL INFORMATION Maxon is a combination of plant growth hormones and fertilizer, formulated to stimulate seedling vigor, flower and fruit set, and to increase crop yields. All instructions are for foliar (broadcast) applications unless otherwise stated. The use of a foliar fertilizr following or in combination with Maxon applications enhances its activity. Where a range of dosage rates is given, use the higher rate for maximum yield potential. For a more economical program, use the lower rate. PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF SPRAY SOLUTIONS Fill spray tank half full with the desired amount of clean water. Start agitation. If compatibility problems are suspected, add an approved compatibility agent at labeled rates. Shake Maxon well and pour the required amount directly from the container into the partially filled spray tank. Add the rest of the water. Provide agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension. Apply Maxon either by ground in 5 to 50 gallons of water or by air in I to 10 gallons of water per acre. Use sufficient water to obtain uniform coverage without excessive run-off. Use higher volumes . of water within the ranges given above in dense crop canopies or where increased coverage is needed. When applied alone or with foliar fertilizer, use an approved non-ionic surfactant to enhance the wetting and spreading characteristics of the spray solution. When used with other pesticides, follow the label requirements of the pesticide used.
