|
||
I. GENERAL INFORMATION and DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
SNOW PLUS forms a thin, white particulate coating that can aid in the protection of plants. This coating will help reduce damage
|
||
to plants caused by certain insects. mites, disease pathogens. and environmental stresses such as sunburn and heat stress.
|
||
For those insects that are listed elsewhere on this label as being suppressed, SNOW PLUS is one component in a pest
|
||
management system. The use of additional supplementary compatible pesticides will enhance the level of control.
|
||
Plant Response Precautions:
|
||
Lack of adhesion or film formation On foliage or fruit may indicate spray incompatibility with the plant surface or previously applied
|
||
materials. If this condition occurs, consult your local Wilbur-Ellis Company pest control Advisor.
|
||
Ensure that plant leaf and fruit surfaces are dry before applying to avoid poor adhesion or film formation.
|
||
Do not spray where a visible white film is undesirable or cannot be washed off.
|
||
a. Mix Instructions:
|
||
Due to the specific nature of the bag weight for this product, agricultural uses typically require the use of multiple bags per
|
||
application.
|
||
~or Agitating Sprayer Tanks:
|
||
• Concentrate Application - Use 50 Ibs. (2 bags) of SNOW PLUS per 100 gallons of water. For use on pears pre-bloom, up
|
||
to 100 Ibs. (4 bags) SNOW PLUS per 100 gallons of water are allowed, but do not exceed 100 Ibs. of SNOW PLUS per
|
||
acre.
|
||
Dilute Application - Use 50 Ibs. (2 bags) of SNOW PLUS per 200 gallons of water.
|
||
1. Slowly add SNOW PLUS powder into the water in a recirculating sprayer tank. Add directly into the mix basket
|
||
if pump recirculation empties into the mix basket. If it does not, add SNOW PLUS directly to water. If there is
|
||
no mix basket, add powder very slowly to the recirculating water. Mix thoroughly.
|
||
2. Add tank mix pesticides, if compatible, and follow their label instructions.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until all of the material has been sprayed from the tank.
|
||
4. At the end of the application, spray until empty and flush system and nozzles with fresh water. Properly dispose of
|
||
rinse water.
|
||
For Non-agitating Sprayer Tanks, such as Backpack Sprayers:
|
||
The following mixing sequence must be followed:
|
||
1. Use SNOW PLUS powder at a rate of 1/2 lb. of SNOW PLUS powder per one gallon of water.
|
||
2. While stirring or swirling, slowly add SNOW PLUS powder into 1/4 to 1/2 of the water that will be used in the batch.
|
||
3. Mix thoroughly by vigorously shaking the closed container for 30 seconds.
|
||
4. Add tank mix pesticides, if any.
|
||
5. Add the remainder of the batch water and shake for an additional 30 seconds.
|
||
6. Shake the sprayer occasionally during application.
|
||
7. At the end of the application, spray until empty and flush system and nozzles with fresh water. Properly dispose of
|
||
rinse water.

|
||
b. Compatibility:
|
||
SNOW PLUS is generally not affected by most other insecticides, miticides, and fungicides; however, performing a small scale
|
||
mixing test before use will serve to confirm compatibility. When mixing with other products, make up a small batch and observe
|
||
slurry and film characteristics. Curdling, preCipitation, lack of film formation, or changes in viscosity are signs of incompatibility.
|
||
It is critical to observe for signs of incompatibility when mixing SNOW PLUS with sulfur or copper. Do not tank mix with bordeaux
|
||
mixture fungiCides. Always add tank mix pesticides after the SNOW PLUS powder has been added. Do not use antifoaming
|
||
agents.
|
||
Do not tank mix other mineral particulate products like diatomaceous earth. Applications of SNOW PLUS over such products or
|
||
oversprays of such products on top of SNOW PLUS may impair post-harvest wash off.
|
||
In early season, exercise care when using adjuvants in conjunction with SNOW PLUS to avoid the potential for poor coverage or
|
||
adhesion. Avoid the use of adjuvants with SNOW PLUS' during the period from bloom through harvest. Consult with your local crop
|
||
consultant for guidance on the use of adjuvants.
|
||
c. General Application Guidelines (see also, specific crop use instructions):
|
||
Rates: Rate is dependent on the amount of foliage that needs to be covered
|
||
Concentration (amount of product per 100 gallons of water): Use SNOW PLUS at concentrations of 25-50 Ibs. (1-2 bags) of
|
||
product per 100 gallons, but concentrations of up to 100 Ibs. (4 bags) per 100 gallons are allowed for specific crop uses .
|
||
• overage: Use sufficient spray volume to obtain thorough coverage. For optimal performance, applications must coat all por
|
||
tions of plant that are to be protected, including both sides of the leaves. Applications can be made with any commercial air
|
||
blast or high-pressure sprayer that provides enough air turbulence to cmit all plant parts. Tractor speed must not exceed 3
|
||
m.p.h ..
|
||
Plant Color Change: All plant surfaces must turn a hazy white color after drying. Additional treatments will turn the plant
|
||
surfaces a deeper white. This is normal, and is indicative of appropriate film formation. Generally, two or more coatings are
|
||
required for complete coverage and for establishment of.the foundation of the protective barrier.
|
||
Foliag~ .Dryness: Apply only to dry foliage. Do not apply to wet foliage or poor coverage and adhesion will result.
|
||
Droplet Size: Select nozzles that produce a fine spray when SNOW PLUS is used under normal temperature and humidity
|
||
conditions. To minimize poor film formation under very hot and dry conditions, select nozzles that produce a coarser spray and
|
||
larger volumes to reduce evaporation and the potential drying of the product before it contacts the foliage.
|
||
Spray Methods: Air blast or high-pressure sprayers are required. Observe specific crop label instructions for directions
|
||
regarding spray volume. Calibrate spray equipment per equipment manufacturer to deliver the required volume. The flow rate
|
||
of this product is similar to water. Use strainers in the spray system and behind each nozzle per normal practice .
|
||
•
|
||
ReapPlication: Reapplication is generally required every 7 to 14 days. Intervals can be widened to 14 to 21 days later in the
|
||
eason when new growth diminishes.
|
||
When the dry foliage has lost its white appearance, reapplication is necessary. Heavy rainfall, new growth, and wind erosion
|
||
will affect film quality. After heavy rain and as soon as the foliage is dry, reapply to reestablish coverage. However, reapplication
|
||
is not necessary if all target surfaces remain thoroughly coated. Excessively thick coatings are to be avoided.
|
||
Overhead Irrigation Considerations: Overhead irrigation will wash off the film and reduced efficacy will result. Overhead
|
||
irrigation is not preferred, but, if used, irrigating prior to the next SNOW PLUS application will reduce premature wash off.
|
||
NOTE: Do not apply SNOW PLUS through any type of irrigation equipment.
|
||
d. General Insect and Mite Control:
|
||
SNOW PLUS is a protectantirepellent that forms a film barrier to insects and mites. For optimum performance, begin application
|
||
before a particular insect or mite outbreak occurs; thorough coverage must be in place before the pest outbreak. Thorough,
|
||
uniform, and consistent coverage is essential for effective control.
|
||
e. Sunburn and Heat Stress Protectant:
|
||
Under high ambient temperatures, SNOW PLUS reduces canopy temperatures and consequently, can help to reduce heat and
|
||
water stress. When SNOW PLUS is used, many po me and stone fruit varieties have shown improved fruit color, smoothness,
|
||
and size with less russet, sunburn, and cracking.
|
||
Fo'r sunburn reduction, apply before conditions leading to sunburn occur. Apply concentrate spray at least every 7 to 14 days
|
||
to ensure complete coverage of fruit surfaces. Under windy conditions, particle film may be rubbed off by leaf movement making
|
||
reapplication necessary.
|
||
SNO'NPLUSMaStBr.p65
|
||
|
||
SNOW PLUS (Master). page 5 of 20
|
||
If initiating sprays for sunbum reduction where there have been no prior sprays, thorough coverage of all fruit surfaces must be in
|
||
place just prior to sunbum-causing conditions. To achieve optimal coverage, it is necessary to start the spray program with either
|
||
two concentrate applications 5-7 days apart, or one application with twice the concentrate use rate per acre (as an example; for
|
||
nominal 12 foot trees, 100 Ibs. (4 bags) per acre in 200 gallons of water).
|
||
f. Packing and Processing:
|
||
Washing is required unless film has weathered off before harvest. Most residues wash off with packing line brushing and forced
|
||
water sprays. An approved washing detergent may be used in the packing line andlor wash tank. A pre-harvest washing trial is
|
||
recommended to determine if a washing detergent is necessary. Waxing further improves fruit appearance.
|
||
g. Organic Growing Consideration:
|
||
1. Washing is usually necessary to remove film. Consult your organic materials regulating body for approved fruit clean
|
||
ing products. Plain water brushing andlor hand wiping can remove film from smooth·skinned fruit such as apples.
|
||
pears, and nectarines.
|
||
~,
|
||
2. Tank mixes with pyrethrins, potassium salts of fatty acids, and rotenone are generally compatible but curdling, precipi
|
||
tation, uneven film formation, or changes in viscosity are signs of incompatibility. Test mix compatibility before use. If
|
||
these conditions occur, do not tank mix SNOW PLUS.
|
||
3. When using SNOW PLUS in combination with sulfur or copper. consult your organic materials regulating body
|
||
for approved sulfur and copper products .
|
||
• 1. CROP GROUPS
|
||
a. Tree Fruit
|
||
Volume: Apply to near-drip. Do not apply to runoff to avoid waste and cause poor coverage.
|
||
For typical semidwarf trees in full foliage, a volume of 100 to 200 gallons per acre will normally provide adequate coverage. Adjust
|
||
volume per tree row to achieve near drip for larger or smaller trees.
|
||
Concentration (the amount of SNOW PLUS per 100 gallons of water): Use 25 to 50 Ibs.(1-2 bags) SNOW PLUS per 100 gallons
|
||
of water, Early applications typically use 37.5 to 50 Ibs. (1-1/2 to 2 bags) per 100 gallOnS of water per acre while follow-up
|
||
applications typically require 251bs. (1 bag) per 100 gallons of water per acre. For use on pears pre-bloom for insect control, up
|
||
to 100 Ibs. (4 bags) SNOW PLUS per 100 gallons of water is allowed, but do not exceed 100 Ibs. of material per acre.

Special Directions
|
||
Special Washing Considerations for Stone Fruit: For fresh market fruit, special washing is required; especially for fuzzy
|
||
6eaches. Most residues wash off with brushing and forced water sprays. Use an approved fruit cleaning detergent in the packing
|
||
~ine and/or wash tank to improve wash off. Prior to brushing, a presoak in approved fruit cleaning detergent is usually needed for
|
||
fuzzy peaches. Conducting a pre-harvest washing trial will provide an indication whether a detergent is necessary. Waxing further
|
||
improves fruit appearance. Iffresh market peaches cannot be washed as noted above, discontinue sprays when the fruits are
|
||
approximately 0/. inch in diameter. Residues do not affect processed fruit quality.
|
||
If cherries are for fresh fruit market, discontinue applications when fruit are half size (approximately Yo inch) if no washing is
|
||
available.

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
Do not apply SNOW PLUS through any type of irrigation systems.
|
||
I. GENERAL INFORMATION and DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
SNOW PLUS forms a thin, white particulate coating that can aid in the protection of plants. This coating will help reduce damage
|
||
to plants caused by certain insects, mites, disease pathogens, and environmental stresses such as sunburn and heat stress.
|
||
For those insects that are listed elsewhere on this label as being suppressed, SNOW PLUS is one component in a pest
|
||
management system. The use of additional supplementary compatible pesticides will enhance the level of control.
|
||
Plant Response Precautions:
|
||
Lack of adhesion or film formation on foliage or fruit may indicate spray incompatibility with the plant surface or previously applied
|
||
materials. If this condition occurs, consult your local Wilbur-Ellis Company pest control Advisor.
|
||
Ensure that plant leaf and fruit surfaces are dry before applying to avoid poor adhesion or film formation.
|
||
Do not spray where a visible white film is undesirable or cannot be washed off.
|
||
a. Mixing Instructions:
|
||
Do to the specific nature of the bag weight for this product, certain crop uses typically require the use of multiple bags per
|
||
application.
|
||
For Sprayer Tanks, such as Hand-held or Backpack Sprayers
|
||
The following mixing sequence must be followed:
|
||
e. Use SNOW PLUS powder at a rate of 1/2 pound (about 3 cups) per one gallon of water.
|
||
2. While stirring or swirling, slowly add SNOW PLUS powder into 1/4 to 1/2 of the water that will be used in the batch.
|
||
3. Mix thoroughly by shaking the closed container vigorously for 30 seconds.
|
||
4. Add tank mix pesticides, if any.
|
||
5. Add the remainder of the batch water and shake for an additional 30 seconds.
|
||
6. Shake the sprayer occasionally during application.
|
||
7. At the end of the application, spray until empty and flush system and nozzles with fresh water. Properly dispose of rinse
|
||
. water.
|
||
b. Compatibility:

||
SNOW PLUS is generally mixable with most other household use insecticides, miticides and fungicides; however,
|
||
performing a small scale mixing test before use will serve to confirm compatibility. When mixing with other products,
|
||
make up a small batch and observe slurry and film characteristics. Curdling, precipitation, lack of film formation or
|
||
changes in viscosity are signs of incompatibility. It is critical to observe for signs of Incompatibility when mixing
|
||
SNOW PLUS with sulfur or copper. Always add tank mix pesticides after the SNOW PLUS powder has been added. Do
|
||
enot use antifoaming agents. Do not tank mix with bordeaux mixture fungicides.
|
||
c. General Application Guidelines (see also, specific crop use instructions):
|
||
Coverage: Use sufficient spray volume to obtain thorough coverage. For optimal performance. applications must coat all
|
||
portions of plant that are to be protected, including both sides of the leaves.
|
||
Plant Color Change: All plant surfaces must turn a hazy white color after drying. Additional treatments will turn the plant
|
||
surfaces a deeper white. This effect is normal, and is indicative of appropriate film formation. Generally, two or more coatings
|
||
are required for complete coverage and for establishment of the foundation of the protective barrier.
|
||
Foliage Dryness: Apply only to dry foliage. Do not apply to wet foliage or poor coverage and adhesion will result.
|
||
Reapplication: Reapplication is generally required every 7 to 14 days. Intervals can be widened to 14 to 21 days later in the
|
||
season when new growth diminishes.
|
||
When the dry foliage has lost its white appearance, reapplication is necessary. Heavy rainfall, new growth, and wind erosion
|
||
will affect film quality. After heavy rain and as soon as the foliage is dry, reapply to reestablish coverage. However, reapplication
|
||
is not necessary if all target surfaces remain thoroughly coated. Excessively thick coatings are to be avoided.
|
||
d. General Insect and Mite Control:
|
||
SNOW PLUS is a protectanUrepelient that forms a film barrier to insects and mites. For optimum performance, begin
|
||
application before a particular insect or mite outbreak occurs; thorough coverage must be in place before the pest
|
||
outbreak. Thorough, uniform, and consistent coverage is essential for effective control. .

||

SNOW PLUS (Masterl. page 16 of 20
|
||
e. Sunburn and Heat Stress Protectant:
|
||
Under high ambient temperatures, SNOW PLUS reduces canopy temperature and therefore, can help to reduce heat and water
|
||
stress.
|
||
For sunburn reduction, apply before conditions leading to sunburn occur. Apply dilute spray rate at least every 7 to 14 days to
|
||
ensure complete coverage of fruit surfaces. Under windy conditions, particle film may be rubbed off by leaf movement making
|
||
reapplication necessary.
|
||
If initiating sprays for sunburn reduction where there have been no prior sprays, thorough coverage of all fruit surfaces must be
|
||
in place just prior to sunburn-causing conditions.
|
||
f. Washing and Processing:
|
||
Rub off any residues with a brush under running water. Traces of residue will not affect processed produce quality.
|
||
II. FRUIT AND NUT TREES
|
||
Apply sufficient spray volume to obtain thorough coverage.
|
||
The plant surface must turn hazy white color after drying. Additional treatments will turn the plant surfaces a deeper white. This
|
||
effect is normal, and is indicative of appropriate film formation. Generally, two or more coatings are required for complete
|
||
coverage and for establishment of the foundation of the protective barrier.
|
||
M1aintain film coverage to maximize potential solar protective benefits. If rainy weather reduces coverage on leaves and fruit,
|
||
~apply to reestablish coverage.

affect spray rates. High density or low-density foliage will require correspondingly higher or lower rates. A visual inspection of film
|
||
deposition and completeness of coverage is crucial for fine-tuning spray amounts.
|
||
"Apply to near-drip. Do not apply to excessive drip to avoid waste and cause poor coverage.
|
||
Continue applications up to harvest to maximize SNOW PLUS horticultural benefits. When using SNOW PLUS in a tank mix or
|
||
overspraying other fungicides, insecticides, miticides or bactericides, refer to the product labels for the other products and follow
|
||
use instructions accordingly. If tank mixing pesticides, follow the pre-harvest interval of those pesticides. If using SNOW PLUS
|
||
alone, reapply as needed up to harvest.
