4 RUNOFF PREVENTION To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems. SPRAY DRIFT Aerial Applications: • Applicators are required to use a medium to coarser droplet size, as defined by ASABE Standard S572.1. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. • Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. • The spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan for airplanes or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. • When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • Orient nozzles so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. Ground Boom Applications: • Applicators are required to use a medium to coarser droplet size, as defined by ASABE Standard S572.1. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. • When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • When applying via airblast, turn off outward spraying nozzles on the outside row of the vineyard. In addition, applications must be directed into the canopy foliage. Applications must not be made over the top of the canopy.

5 SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom • Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. • Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. • Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. BOOM HEIGHT- Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

6 TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 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. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. PRODUCT INFORMATION STANCE is a low dose foliar plant regulator for cotton, utilizing the active ingredients cyclanilide and mepiquat chloride in a 1:4 ratio. STANCE modifies plant growth to reduce plant height resulting in a more manageable cotton crop. Additional benefits include: earliness, increased fruit retention, less boll rot, better light interception of lower leaves, improved defoliation and harvest efficiency. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS STANCE is a low dose plant regulator with use rates ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 fl. oz. per acre for early and midseason crop management. Sequential applications can be made with a minimum of 7 days between applications (see Timing and Application Rate Table). Consult with your local Bayer CropScience Representative or Cotton Extension Specialist for guidance with exceptionally challenging situations. STANCE can be tank mixed with insecticides, miticides and foliar fertilizer (see Mixing Instructions). Prior to application(s) the field should be carefully scouted for stress from factors including: weather, nematode, mite or insect damage, disease stress, herbicide injury or fertility stress. Application(s) should not be made to cotton under stress. • For ground application use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre using nozzles that will develop a Medium spray category as defined by ASAE S-572. Typical nozzles include hollow cone, flat fans, extended range flat fans, and Turbo Teejet. • For aerial equipment apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre.

7 APPLICATION TIMING AND RATES Begin applications at matchead square (first square of a typical cotton plant is 1/8 to 1/4 inch in diameter). First application should be applied when 50% of the cotton plants have one or more matchead squares. Begin sequential applications 7-14 days later or when regrowth occurs. Allow a minimum of 7 days between applications. Use rates of 2.0 to 4.0 fl. oz. per acre based on field examination and the degree of vegetative vigor. For moderate vegetative vigor use 2.0 fl. oz. per acre and for high vegetative vigor use 3.0 to 4.0 fl. oz. per acre. For high management situations, modification in application interval in addition to rate increase can provide enhanced crop management. Allow a minimum of 7 days between applications. Do not exceed 22 fl. oz. per crop per year. For sequential applications following a matchhead square treatment or for applications initiated after matchhead square, use 2.0 to 4.0 fl. oz. per acre as needed based on field examination and degree of vegetative vigor (see Timing and Application Rate Table). STANCE Plant Regulator Timing and Application Rate Table Timing of Application Use this Amount of STANCE (fl. oz./Acre) For High Management Situations, Use this Amount of STANCE (fl. oz./Acre) * At the Indicated Rate One Gallon of STANCE will Treat: Application beginning at the matchhead square growth stage and sequential applications or applications beginning after matchhead square growth stage. 2.0 to 3.0 Up to 4.0 64 (2.0 fl. oz.) to 32 (4.0 fl. oz.) Acres Allow a minimum of 7 days between applications. Do not exceed 22 fl. oz. per crop per year. *High management situations are defined as situations where any one of the following conditions may occur: aggressive watering, aggressive fertilization or aggressive varieties.

8 USE OF ADJUVANTS STANCE is generally rain-safe in 4 - 8 hours. If rain is expected within 4 hours, use of a high quality EPA-exempt surfactant can reduce the rain-safe period to 2 hours. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS STANCE Plant Regulator is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation and must be applied with calibrated spray equipment. STANCE is formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding STANCE to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly cleaned and free of other pesticides that may injure cotton. STANCE is compatible with most insecticides and miticides. STANCE can be tank mixed with foliar fertilizers if prior experience and/or test strips has proven to be compatible and non-injurious. Prior to preparing a tank mix always perform a compatibility test mix with all tank mix components. Mix the finished spray solution as follows:

1. Fill the spray tank half-full with water.
2. Start agitation.
3. Add STANCE and continue agitation.
4. If mixing with a dry flowable/wettable powder tank mix partner, prepare a slurry of the proper amount of the product in a small amount of water. Add the slurry of dry materials to the spray tank.
5. If mixing with a liquid tank mix partner, add the liquid tank mix partner.
6. Complete filling the spray tank with water. Ensure that all spray system lines including pipes, booms, and screens have the correct concentration of the spray solution by flushing out the system lines before starting the crop application. Maintain agitation until the contents of the tank is sprayed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Screen size in nozzles or line strainers must be 50 mesh or larger.
