NOTICE:

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE, CROP INJURY, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

All applications should be made according to the use directions that follow.

Palisade EC is a plant growth regulator (PGR), which acts by inhibiting the production of gibberellic acid. It shortens the internodes on grasses grown for seed and cereals, which results in a reduction in lodging. It also acts as a PGR in sugarcane by shortening the internodes which improves seed piece production and when used prior to harvest, increases and/or maintains the sugar content for an extended harvest window. Palisade EC is rapidly absorbed by the foliage. The PGR effects do not occur through soil uptake.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

Application: Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good activity. Make up no more spray solution than is needed for application. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur.

Adjuvants: When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is recommended.

Efficacy: The activity and performance of Palisade EC is primarily affected by: (1) environmental conditions, (2) crop management and cultural practices that affect crop growth and vigor, (3) fertility level, (4) moisture availability, (5) plant vigor, and (6) crop growth stage. Palisade EC acts by inhibiting the production of gibberellic acid.

Palisade EC Page 7

Plant-back Interval (PBI):

Crop Days to Plantback After the Last Application of Palisade EC Wheat Barley Triticale Oats Rye Rice Grasses Grown for Seed Sugarcane

0 days All Other Food or Feed Crops 30 days

Crop Tolerance: Plant tolerance has been found acceptable for all crops on the label, however, not all possible tank mix combinations have been tested under all conditions nor have all varieties been tested under all conditions. When possible, it is recommended to test the combinations on a small portion of the crop to ensure a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of application.

Spray Drift Management: Spray equipment and weather affect spray drift. Consider all factors when making application decisions. Where states or tribes have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. To reduce the potential for drift, the application equipment must be set to apply medium to coarse droplets (i.e., ASAE Standard 572) with corresponding spray pressure. Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Follow the nozzle manufacturer’s directions on pressure, orientation, spray volume, etc., in order to minimize drift and optimize coverage and control.

Wind: Avoid making applications when spray particles may be carried by air currents to non- target areas. Do not spray if wind is gusty, below 2 mph, or in excess of 10 mph and moving in the direction of adjacent sensitive areas. Local terrain may influence wind patterns; the applicator must be familiar with local conditions and understand how they may impact spray drift.

Sensitive Areas: Sensitive areas to this product are defined as bodies of water (ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands), known habitats of threatened, or endangered species and non- labeled agricultural crop areas. Applicators must take all precautions necessary to keep spray drift from reaching sensitive areas.

Palisade EC Page 8

Temperature Inversion: A surface temperature inversion (i.e., increasing temperature with increasing altitude) greatly increases the potential for drift. Presence of ground fog is a good indicator of a surface temperature inversion. Do not apply during temperature inversions. Always make applications when there is some air movement to determine the direction and distance of possible spray drift.

Equipment: All aerial and ground equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.

Additional requirements for aerial applications: The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.

Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety.

When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.

Additional requirements for ground applications: Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.

MIXING AND APPLICATION METHODS

Spray Equipment

Nozzles • Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. • Nozzles should be the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. • Calibrate sprayer before use. • It is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. • Screens placed on suction side of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. • Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. • Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. • Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations.

Pump • Use a pump with capacity to: • maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles. • provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this requires recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute.

Palisade EC Page 9

• Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation. • Do not use air sparge.

For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturers’ and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural recommendations.

Mixing Instructions • Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. • Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. • Agitate the spray solution before and during application. • Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each day’s use and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area. • Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods of time.

Palisade EC Alone (no tank mix): • Add ½-⅔ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. • With the agitator running, add Palisade EC to the tank. • Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. • Mix in enough water (10-20 gal/A) to thoroughly and uniformly cover crop. • Begin application of the spray solution after Palisade EC has completely dispersed into the mix water. • Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.

Palisade EC + Tank Mixtures: • Palisade EC is usually compatible with all tank-mix partners listed on this label. • To determine the physical compatibility of Palisade EC with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 quart of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. • It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Mixing in the Spray Tank • Add ½-⅔ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. • With the agitator running, add the tank mix partner(s) into the tank in the same order as described above. • Allow the material to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water and Palisade EC to the spray tank.

Palisade EC Page 10

• Allow Palisade EC to completely disperse. • Spray the mixture with the agitator running.

Palisade EC + Tilt® Fungicide or Quilt® Fungicide • Add 1/2 –2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray tank. • While agitating, add Palisade EC followed by Tilt Fungicide (propiconazole, EPA Reg No. 100-617) or Quilt Fungicide (azoxystrobin, propiconazole; EPA Reg No. 100-1178). • Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. • Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Palisade EC may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground and aerial applications. Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying equipment to give good coverage is essential for good growth regulator effects.

Ground Application: • Apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre, unless specified otherwise. • Do not apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system. • Thorough coverage is necessary for good growth regulator effects.

Aerial Application: • Thorough coverage is necessary to provide a good, uniform effect. • A minimum of 2 gallons of diluent per acre can be used in grasses grown for seed, cereals, and sugarcane. • Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. • Do not apply directly to humans or animals. • Do not apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system.

Application Through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation)

• Apply this product only through center pivot, [solid set], [hand move], [or moving wheel 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. • Apply in 0.1 - 0.25 inches/A of water. Excessive water may reduce efficacy. • 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.

Palisade EC Page 11

• A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

Note: Do not inject Palisade EC at full strength or deterioration of valves and seals may occur. Use a dilution ratio of at least 10 parts water to 1 part Palisade EC. Palisade EC is corrosive to many seal materials. Leather seals are best. EPDM or silicone rubber seals can be used, but should be replaced once a year. Do not use Viton, Buna-N, Neoprene, or PVC seals.

Operating Instructions

1. 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.

2. 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. The pesticide injection pipeline must also 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.

4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment

Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating Palisade EC through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application.

Palisade EC Page 12

• Determine the size of the area to be treated. • Determine the time required to apply ⅛-½ inch of water over the area to be treated when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. When applying Palisade EC through irrigation equipment, use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run the system at 80-95% of the manufacturer’s rated capacity. • Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure. • Determine the amount of Palisade EC required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. • Add the required amount of Palisade EC and sufficient water to meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. • Make sure the system is fully charged with water before starting injection of the Palisade EC solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to full pressure. • Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period. • Continue to operate the system until the Palisade EC solution has cleared the sprinkler head.

Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment

Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating Palisade EC through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application.

• Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers. • Fill injector solution tank with water and adjust flow rate to use the contents over a 20- to 30-minute interval. When applying Palisade EC through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. • Determine the amount of Palisade EC required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. • Add the required amount of Palisade EC into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. • Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the calibration. • Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until the Palisade EC solution has cleared the last sprinkler head.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS

1. 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

Palisade EC Page 13

or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.

2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back-flow 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 flow 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.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick- closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

4. 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.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water 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.

6. 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.

Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
