1/, 
Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. Wash the 
outside of .Ioves before removin<. 
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. 00 not contaminate 
water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. Avoid spray drift to nearby crops 
as this product will cause modifications in plant growth. Plant injury or reduced yields may result. 
IMPOPTANT: Do not use this product for purposes other than those listed on the label. 
SPRAY DRIFT 
Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow this product to drift on to non-target areas. Drift may result in 
illegal residues or injury to adjacent crops and vegetation, in the form of leaf yellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply aerially 
when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. Use of larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift. 
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. 
The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering 
all these factors when making decisions. 
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. 
These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 
The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees 
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. 
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below 
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY 
[This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirementsJ. 
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE 
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is ~o dpply the IJrgest droplets that 
provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if dpoliLatlons are rrvuie improperly, 
or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions) . 
CDNTROlLlNG DROPLET SIZE 
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger d~oplets 
Pressure" Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nOlLle types lower pressure produces ~rger rJroplets When 
higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 
umber of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 
Nozzle Orientation - Or·lenting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the 
recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. 
Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. 
BOOM LENGTH 
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing 
swath width. 
APPLICATION HEIGHT 
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aIrcraft safety. 
Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind 
SWATH ADJUSTMENT 
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the 
applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind Swath adjustment distance should increase, with 
increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.) 
2

WIND 
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift 
potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local 
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift 
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY 
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation, Droplet evaporation 
is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which 
causes smail suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds 
common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited 
cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and oft 1 continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground 
fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. 
Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and 
rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 
SENSITIVE AREAS 
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for 
threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
CERONE~ brand Ethephon Plant Regulator is intended for use as a lodging reduction agent in barley and wheat crops and in grasses grown for seed 
:oduction. Use CERONE' only on vigorously growing crops that are likely to lodge. Do not use CERONE" in non-lodging situations or where lodging 
causes only minimal yield loss. 
Lodged crops increase harvest costs and decrease harvest efficiency and recoverable yields. lodging can cause uneven maturity, higher moisture 
content and loss of grain quality. In grasses grown for seed lodging at anthesis can reduce seed set and yield. 
CERONE~ brand Ethephon Plant Regulator decomposes in the plant to release ethylene, a naturally occurring plant hormone. CERONE~ increases stem 
strength thereby increasing the plant's resistance to lodging. CERONE~ may shorten the plant depending on variety, environmental ,onditions and the 
rate used. CERONE
e 
also reduces "necking" in barley and yield decreases due to shattering and head loss.

COMPATIBILITY 
CERONEc brand Ethephon Plant Regulator can be tank-mixed with approved cereal insecticides and fungicides. Treatment is intended as a preventive 
measure. Insecticide and fungicide treatment programs should be based on timely scouting and economic threshold assessments. This may not 
coincide with CERONEe application timing. Do not use CE0NEe as a tank mixture with insecticides or fungicides on crops stressed by adverse weather 
conditions, referenced above, or by insect or disease damage. 
Crop injury or yield loss may result with tank mix application under stress conditions. (Le. moisture, heat, cold, insect, disease). CERONE" + Tilt" 
tank mix application by air made under stress conditions may result in flag leaf burn and yield loss. 
Do not tank mix with herbicides or nitrogen solutions. 
Do not add adjuvants, surfactants or wetting agents to CERONE~ brand Ethephon Plant Regulator. 
APPLICATION TIMING 
Apply when the flag leaf is just visible to boot stage, but before the awns have emerged or the sheath has split (Feekes-Large Scale 
8-10, Zadok's Code 37-45). Do not allow spray solution to contact exposed heads, as damage and reduced yield may result. Inspect fields carefully to 
determine that application can be made at the proper stage . 
• PPLICATION 
For CERONEe brand Ethephon Plant Regulator to be effective temperature after application should be at least GO°F. 
Avoid spray overlap which can result in excess rate and yield loss. 
GROUND: Use a minimum of 7 gallons of water per acre when applied by conventional ground equipment. Flat fan nozzles are recommended. Use a 
minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre with controlled droplet application (CDA) or air foil type equipment. To prevent uneven application adjust
