GENERAL CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
~Apply"this~product~only"through"sprinkler-~including-center-pivotr^laterahmove7side-(wheel) rollr
traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move, or furrow 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. '"'•^ ^
c
Maintain agitation in the supply tank while adding the required amount of ASCEND, and throughout
the application. ASCEND should be added to the supply tank at the end of water application, (pripr to
last complete cycle in moving systems). <-' tC C. L L i, L '„ '(.'
I I- L C I
The correct amount of ASCEND to add is calculated as the rate in fluid oz. per acre x the i.iiin?l:'(?r of
acres covered by the contents of the supply tank. l
i. t. (. (.
c
(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 2 fluid
ounce 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.
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 ASCEND. ASCEND
should be applied at the end of the water application.
ASCEND 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 18 fluid ounces of ASCEND 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: C. 1

a. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and lowxpressure
drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from
backflow. i
b. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closjr^ check
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system

C C Vinterlock 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 ASCEND, and throughout
the application. ASCEND 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 ASCEND to add is calculated as the rate in fluid oz. per acre x the number of
acres covered by the contents of the supply tank.

IMPORTANT: Read the entire "Directions for Use" and the "Notice" before using this product. If
terms are not acceptable, return the unopened product container at once.
Apply ASCEND by ground or air. If applied by air, use 3 to 5 gallons of water per acre. If applied by
ground on vegetable or field crops, use 5 to 25 gallons of water per acre. For tree crops, apply 50 to
200 gallons of water per acre. For turfgrass, apply ASCEND by ground using 0.2 to 0.5 gallon on
water per 1,000 square feet.
Test results have shown that this product can stimulate higher yields through a larger root mass,
earlier fruiting and increased fruit retention. ASCEND is a tool to increase plant efficiency.

FOLIAR SPRAY PROGRAM FOR RICE
ASCEND should be applied at 3.2 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, ASCEND 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. ASCEND 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 earfy than to
apply late. IMPORTANT: Timing of the application at 2 mm growth stage is critical. CJieck the
entire field for stage of plant development. Large fields may require split applications on Jjp'per and
lower ends of the field to ensure proper timing throughout the field. c c
TURFGRASS ^ -
On all turfgrass, regardless of use, use no more than 0.3 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet per
month. c,U
WARM SEASON TURF (Bermuda, Bermuda hybrids, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, etc.):
For lower traffic areas and where ASCEND is used as a maintenance program, begin applications
early in the growing season. Apply at the rate of 0.1 to 0.15 fluid ounces per 1,000 square ft.
11

c cMaintenance application should be made on a two to three week schedule throughout the growing
season. Applications can be made with foliarly-applied urea for added benefits.
COOL SEASON TURF (Tall Fescue, Rye, Bentgrass, Bluegrass, etc.): Apply 0.15 fluid ounces
per 1,000 square feet in fall, or when stand is established. Repeat application in late winter when
grasses begin to grow actively.
APPLICATION WITH FOLIARLY-APPLIED UREA: Maximum benefit and color can be achieved
when ASCEND applications are made with foliarly-applied urea solutions. To prepare urea solution,
dissolve 46% urea into spray solution at the rate of 1.0 Ib. per 5,000 square feet to be sprayed and
apply with specified rate of ASCEND.
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION
TEES AND GREENS: Apply 0.1 to 0.15 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet on a 2 week schedule
throughout the growing season. Begin in early spring after grasses have begun to grow. Sunbelt
and transition zones should continue spray program throughout playing season. Courses north of
the transition zone should continue applications through September.
FAIRWAYS: Begin applications in early spring as soon as grasses have begun to actively grow.
Apply 0.1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet and repeat on a monthly schedule as long as grass is
growing.
PRE-TOURNAMENT QUICK GREEN-UP: Apply at the rate of 0.1 to 0.15 fluid ounces per 1,000
square feet in conjunction with urea solution 4 to 5 days prior to playing time. Make application with
a minimum spray volume of 0.5 gallon of water per 1,000 square feet.
SPRING DORMANCY BREAK: Apply 0.1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet in spring as soon as
new growth (opening) is visible. Raking of thatch prior to making this application is most desirable.
Application at this time generates rapid growth and often reduces incidence of "spring die back" on
certain species of grass.
FALL APPLICATION FOR WINTER HARDINESS: Make 2 applications 7-10 days apart in late
summer or early fall just prior to the cessation of normal active growth. Apply 0.1 to 0.15 fluid
ounces per 1,000 square feet. Make application with a spray volume of 0.5 gallon of water per 1,000
square feet. Applications at this time will greatly increase root mass and depth of roots. Winter kill
problems are often greatly reduced.
COMMERCIAL TURF, CEMETERIES, ATHLETIC FIELDS, GOLF COURSES, AND OTHER FINE
TURF AREAS: Applications of 0.1 to 0.15 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet made at any point
during the growing season will produce desirable results. Make applications during the very early
growth stages and continue on a regular monthly schedule throughout the growing^ ^elson.
Healthier and more beautiful turf can be realized in high traffic areas such as golf greens and^ees by,,. <.,,,
making regular applications every two weeks. , c , I: ' '. f. C t,
C C C C C (.<_<.<.
SOD FARMS ^ c L
Apply 4-8 fluid ounces per acre on a monthly basis during the growing season. Two weeksc prior to "^c' *
cutting sod, make an application of 4 to 8 fluid ounces per acre. t \
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION <
After sod is cut, a reestablishment program is necessary. Start this program as soon as there is any
greening over 30% of the area. Spray with 4 to 8 fluid ounces per acre of ASCEND. Repeat in 2
weeks and thereafter once per month throughout the growing season. Make a final application of 4
to 8 fluid ounces per acre 2 weeks before dormancy.
12

Start the monthly program again as soon as some green-up has started in the spring.
When species started from seed have reached 1 inch in height, the monthly treatment may be
started and followed in the same way as non-seeded varieties.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR ALL DIRECT SEEDED GRASSES
Acting through its unique combination of plant growth regulators, ASCEND is a ready-to-use seed
dressing that aids in enhancing germination and early season root and top growth.
ASCEND can be used at the rate of 2 to 4 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed. Sufficient water
needs to be added to insure uniform coverage. Improper coverage will minimize product
performance.
