Early Harvest PGR 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 R«ommendations - three to seven Leaf Stage: This application must be made after the 
rice seedling has three fully emerged leaves and the fourth leaf is beginning to emerge but before 
the seedling has completed development of seven leaves or three tillers. This period for application 
generally begins about 3 to 6 weeks after seeding and ends 5 to 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, Early Harvest PGR 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. Early Harvest PGR 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. IMPORT ANT: Timing of the application at 2 rnm 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 throughDut the field. 
Tungnus 
On all turf grass regardless of use, no more than 6 fluid ounces per 1000 square per feet per month 
should be used. 
WARM SEASON TURF: (Bermuda, Bermuda hybrids, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, etc.) 
For lower traffic areas and where Early Harvest PGR is used as a maintenance program, begin 
applications early in the growing season. Apply at the rate of I to \.5 fluid ounces per 1,000 
square feel. Maintenance application should be made on a 2-3 week schedule throughout the 
growing season Applications may be made with foliar-applied urea for added benefits. 
COOL SEASON TURF: (Tall Fescue, Rye, Bentgrass, Bluegrass, etc.). Apply 1 .5 to 2 fluid 
ounces per 1,000 square feet in full, or when stand is established. Repeat application in late winter 
when grasses begin to grow actively - -
APPLICATION WITH FOLIAR-APPLIED UREA: Maximum benefit and color can be 
achieved when Early Harvest PGR applications are made with foliar-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 the recommended rate of Early Harvest PGR. 
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION: 
TEES & GREENS: Apply 1 to 1.5 fluid ounces [er 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 hegun to actively grow, 
Apply 1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet and repeat on a monthly schedule as long as grass is 
growing, 
PRE-TOURNAMENT QmCK GREEN-UP: Apply at the rate of 1 to 1.5 fluid ounces per 
1,000 square feet in conjunction with urea solution 4 to 5 days prior to playing time, This 
application should be made with a minimum spray volume of 0.5 gallon of water per 1,000 square 
feet, 
SPRING DORMANCY BREAK: Apply I 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 reduce incidence of "spring die 
back" on certain species of grass 
FALL APPLICATION FOR WINTER HARDINESS: Malee two applications 7·10 days apart 
in late summer or early fall just prior to the cessation of normal active growth. Apply 1 to 1.5 fluid 
ounces per 1,000 square feet. Application should be made 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 I to 2 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet made at 
any poillt during the growing season will produce desirable results. Ideally applications should 
begin 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 4-8 fluid ounces per acre on a monthly basis during the growing season Two weeks prior to 
cutting sod, make an application of 4-8 fluid ounces per acre 
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION: 
After sod is cut, a re-estab!ishment program is necessary. This program should start as soon as 
there is any greening overJO% of the area. Spray with 4-8 fluid ounces per acre of Early Harvest 
POR. Repeat in 2 weeks and thereafter once per month throughout the growing season, Make a 
final application of 4-8 fluid 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 of height the monthly treatment may be 
started and followed in the same way as non-seeded varieties.
