DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through
drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific 
to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 
CFR part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of workers on farms, forests, 
nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for 
training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific 
instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective 
equipment and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this 
product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 4 
hours unless wearing appropriate PPE.
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:
x coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants,
x chemical-resistant gloves, and
x shoes plus socks.
CHEMIGATION INFORMATION
Apply this product only through 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 shoul d 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 ASCEND WSG, and 
throughout the application. ASCEND WSG 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 WSG to add is calculated as the rate in ounces per acre x the 
number of acres covered by the contents of the supply tank. 
2

(For example, if the supply tank covers ten acres and the rate on the label for that crop is 0.2 ounces
per acre, add 10 x 0.2 = 2.0 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 WSG.
ASCEND WSG should be applied at the end of the water application.
ASCEND WSG 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 WSG 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.
3

c. The pesticide injection pipeline must also c ontain 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 ASCEND WSG, and 
throughout the application. ASCEND WSG 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 WSG to add is calculated as the rate in 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 0.2 ounces 
per acre, add 10 x 0.2 = 2.0 ounces to the supply tank at the beginning of the last full cycle).
APPLICATION INFORMATION
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.
ASCEND WSG must be solubilized in water prior to use. DO NOT mix or attempt to solubilize 
directly into fertilizer. 
Apply ASCEND WSG 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 WSG by ground using 0.5 
to 2.5 gallons of 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 WSG is a tool to increase plant efficiency.

FOLIAR SPRAY PROGRAM FOR RICE
Apply ASCEND WSG at 0.4 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 
9

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 WSG 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 WSG 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.
TURFGRASS
On all turfgrass, regardless of use, use no more than 0.04 ounces per 1,000 square feet per month.
WARM SEASON TURF (Bermuda, Bermuda hybrids, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, etc.):
For lower traffic areas and where ASCEND WSG is used as a maintenance program, begin 
applications early in the growing season. Apply at the rate of 0.01 to 0.02 ounces per 1,000 square 
ft. Maintenance 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 0.02 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 WSG applications are made with foliarly-applied urea solutions. To prepare urea 
solution, dissolve 46% urea into spray solution at the rate of 1.0 lb. per 5,000 square feet to be 
sprayed and apply with specified rate of ASCEND WSG.
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION
TEES AND GREENS: Apply 0.01 to 0.02 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 0.01 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 0.01 to 0.02 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.
POST-STRESS RECOVERY: Apply 0.01 ounces ASCEND WSG per 1,000 square feet immediately 
after stressful event. Repeat application 7 to 14 days after initial application to increase root growth 
and overcome stress.
SPRING DORMANCY BREAK: Apply 0.01 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 0.01 to 0.02 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 0.01 to 0.02 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 season. Healthier and 
more beautiful turf can be realized in high traffic areas such as golf greens and tees by making 
regular applications every two weeks.
SOD FARMS
Apply 0.6 to 1.1 ounces per acre on a monthly basis during the growing season. Two weeks prior to 
cutting sod, make an application of 0.6 to 1.1 ounces per acre.
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 0.6 to 1.1 ounces per acre of ASCEND WSG. Repeat in 
2 weeks and thereafter once per month throughout the growing season. Make a final application of 
0.6 to 1.1 ounces per acre 2 weeks before dormancy.
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 WSG may be used as a 
seed dressing that aids in enhancing germination and early season root and top growth.
For every 100 pounds of seed prepare slurry of 0.3 to 0.6 ounces ASCEND WSG with one fluid 
ounce of water. Thoroughly mix slurry with the seed to insure uniform coverage. Improper coverage 
will minimize product performance. NOTE: When applying to more than 100 pounds of seed up to 2 
ounces of ASCEND WSG can be slurried with one fluid ounce of water. 
SEED TREATMENT
SPECIAL NOTE FOR ALL DIRECT SEEDED CROPS
Acting through its unique combination of plant growth regulators, ASCEND WSG may be used as a 
seed dressing that aids in enhancing germination and early season root and top growth.
For every 100 pounds of seed prepare slurry of 0.1 to 0.6 ounces ASCEND WSG with one fluid 
ounce of water. Use the higher rate when conditions favor poor germination such as cool soil 
temperatures or low germination seed. Thoroughly mix slurry with the seed to insure uniform 
coverage. Improper coverage will minimize product performance. NOTE: When applying to more 
than 100 pounds of seed up to 2 ounces of ASCEND WSG can be slurried with one fluid ounce of 
water.

NOTE: If seed has been treated with ASCEND WSG, do not apply ASCEND WSG as an in-furrow, 
band, side dress or mark out application.
RED OR WHITE POTATOES:
Choose one of the following methods:
Dip potato seed pieces in a solution of 0.05 ounces per gallon of water for 30 to 60 seconds or spray 
seed pieces with the above solution so that seed pieces are covered and thoroughly wetted. 
ASCEND WSG can be used with a fungicide program.
OR
For every 100 pounds of seed pieces prepare slurry of 0.07 to 0.14 ounces (2 g to 4 g) ASCEND 
WSG with one fluid ounce of water. Treat seed pieces immediately after they have been cut. Apply 
so that the cut seed pieces are thoroughly covered. ASCEND WSG can be mixed with other seed 
treatments and carriers such as fir and alder bark to insure uniform coverage. NOTE: When 
applying to more than 100 pounds of seed pieces up to 2 ounces of ASCEND WSG can be slurried 
with one fluid ounce of water. 
NOTE: If seed has been treated with ASCEND WSG, do not apply ASCEND WSG as an in-furrow, 
band, side dress or mark out application.
SWEET POTATOES AND YAMS:
Dip potato slips in a solution of 0.05 ounces per gallon of water for 30 to 60 seconds. ASCEND 
WSG can be used with a fungicide program.
NOTE: If seed has been treated with ASCEND WSG, do not apply ASCEND WSG as an in-furrow, 
band, side dress or mark out application.
MECHANICAL SEED TREATERS
Apply the appropriate amount of ASCEND WSG to a premeasured amount of seed and mix 
thoroughly until all seed are uniformly coated. Seed can be treated in this manner and stored until 
used for planting. Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil purposes. An approved dye must be 
added to distinguish ASCEND WSG treated seed and prevent inadvertent use for food, feed or oil 
purposes. Seed treated with this product must be labeled in accordance with all applicable 
requirements of the Federal and State seed laws. DO NOT USE TREATED SEED FOR FOOD, 
FEED OR OIL PURPOSES.
BROADCAST SEED APPLICATION
Partially fill broadcast spreader with a premeasured amount of seed. Apply the appropriate amount 
of ASCEND WSG, diluted with water at a rate of up to 2 ounces ASCEND WSG per one fluid ounce 
of water, on the surface of the seed. Mix with a stick or paddle until all seed are coated. Repeat 
procedure until broadcast spreader is filled. DO NOT USE TREATED SEED FOR FOOD, FEED OR 
OIL PURPOSES. Treat only those seeds needed for immediate use and planting. Do not store 
excess treated seed beyond planting time.
