GENERAL CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS 
Apply this product only through sprinkler ( including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, 
traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move), furrow or drip 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. 
 
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 
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments 
should the need arise. 
 
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of Ascend2, and throughout 
the application. Ascend2 should be added to the supply tank at the end of water application (prior to 
last complete cycle in moving systems). 
 
The correct amount of Ascend2 to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the 
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank. 
 
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid 
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full 
cycle). 
 
CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS 
Public water system means a system for the 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 connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced - 
pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) 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 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 contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check valve to 
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 
EXCEPTION: If the product is soil -incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain 
circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that 
has been treated. 
 
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard 
and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil, or water, is: 
• coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants, 
• chemical-resistant gloves (made of any waterproof material), and 
• shoes plus socks.

4 
 
 
 
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 interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide 
injection pump when the 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 the 
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 
 
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
 
The pesticide supply tank should be agitated throughout the application of Ascend2. Ascend2 should 
be applied at the end of the water application. 
 
Ascend2 should be applied at the end of the irrigation period in a sufficient amount of water to allow 
proper coverage of plant or crop but not to exceed 19.2 fluid ounces of Ascend 2 per acre per 
application. 
 
IN-FURROW CHEMIGATION 
1. Systems using a gravity flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide into the water 
at the head of the field and downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity such as a drop structure or 
weir box to decrease potential for water source contamination from backflow if water flow stops. 
 
2. Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following 
requirements: 
 
a. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure 
drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination 
from backflow. 
 
b. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check 
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 
 
c. The pesticide injection pipeline must also 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. 
 
d. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide 
injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 
 
e. 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. 
 
f. 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.

Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of Ascend2, and throughout 
the application. Ascend2 should be added to the supply tank at the end of water application (prior to 
last complete cycle in moving systems). 
 
The correct amount of Ascend2 to add is calculated as the rate in fluid ounces per acre x the 
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank. 
 
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid 
ounces per acre, add 10 x 2 = 20 fluid ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full 
cycle). 
 
DRIP CHEMIGATION 
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain 
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back 
flow. 
 
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to 
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 
 
The pesticide injection pipeline must also 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 inter-locking 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 that are compatible with 
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 
 
Prior to adding Ascend2 to the supply tank, start drip irrigation water and check for leaks. 
 
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of Ascend 2 and 
throughout the application. 
 
If the drip irrigation tape is placed between rows, add Ascend 2 to the supply tank early in the 
irrigation cycle so the Ascend2 is pushed close to the seed as the water moves through the soil. 
 
If the drip irrigation is directly above the seed, add Ascend2 to the supply tank as close as possible to 
the end of the drip irrigation cycle. Maximize direct Ascend2 contact with the seed. 
 
Calculate the amount of Ascend2 to add to the supply tank by multiplying the rate, in fluid ounces 
per acre, by the number of acres to be covered by the contents of the supply tank. (For example, 
if the supply tank contents cover ten acres and the rate on the label for the crop is 6.3 fluid 
ounces per acre, add 10 x 6.3 = 63 fluid ounces to the supply tank).

FOLI
AR SPRAY PROGRAM FOR RICE 
Ascend2 should be applied at 3.4 fluid ounces per acre as a foliar spray to the plant during either one 
of the following stages of development. 
 
Primary Recommendations - 3 to 7 Leaf Stage: This application must be made after the rice 
seedling has 3 fully emerged leaves and the 4th leaf is beginning to emerge, but before the seedling 
has completed development of 7 leaves or 3 tillers. This period for application generally begins about 
3-6 weeks after seeding and ends 5-9 weeks after seeding. The duration of this period depends on 
the variety and the growing conditions. This application may be made in conjunction with 
corresponding herbicide applications. 
 
Alternate Recommendation - Two Millimeter (mm) Panicle Growth Stage: If the primary 
application is missed, Ascend2 can be applied to stimulate cell differentiation in the developing 
panicle. This application must be made when no more than 10% of the main culms are at the 2 mm 
panicle growth stage. The 2 mm panicle growth stage occurs immediately after internode elongation 
or joint movement has begun. Ascend2 must be applied as soon as internode elongation is 
detected so the 2 mm panicle growth stage is not missed. It is better to apply slightly early than to 
apply late. IMPORTANT: Timing of the application at 2 mm growth stage is critical. Check the entire 
field for stage of plant development. Large fields may require split applications on upper and lower 
ends of the field to ensure proper timing throughout the field.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR ALL TRANSPLANTED CROPS 
Two methods are recommended for this program, unless otherwise directed for a specific crop or 
use: 
A. Dip or spray roots with a solution of 0.8 fluid ounces of Ascend2 per gallon of water prior to 
transplanting. 
B. Bedding seedlings may be sprayed or drenched in flats 12-24 hours before transplanting to 
reduce transplant shock with a solution of 0.8 fluid ounces of Ascend2 per gallon of water. 
 
If applicable, begin the foliar program two (2) weeks after transplanting. A combination of the 
transplant and foliar spray program is most effective.
