GE ERAL INFORMATION 
•••••• • • •• 
• • 
•••••• • 
• ••• • 
• • • • • • 
•••• • • Maxon IV is a comb ination of plant growth hormones and fertilizer, formulated to stimulate ~(!(!cfling 
vigor, flower and fruit set, and to increase crop yields. All directions are for foliar (br~~~ci st) 
applications unless otherwise stated. The use of a foliar fertilizer following or in combination with 
Maxon IV applications enhances its activity . 
Where a range of dosage rates is given, use the higher rate for maximum yie ld potential. For a more 
economica l 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 IV 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 unifom1 suspension . 
Apply Maxon IV either by ground in 5 to 50 gallons of water or by air in 1 to l O 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 spread ing characteristics of the spray solution. When used with other pesticides , follow 
the label requirements of the pesticide used.
