Do not allow this product to drift on to non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to adjacent crops and vegetation, in the form of leaf yellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods oftemperature inversions. Use of larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT ATTHE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance ofthe outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 

### 3/4 the length ofthe wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always paint backward parallel with air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below: AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling Droplet Size
• Volume

- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure

- Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle

types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higherflow rates are needed, use higherflow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of nozzles

- Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide unifonn coverage. • Nozzle Orientation

- Orienting nozzles so thatthe spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflectionfrom horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle Type

- Use a nozzle type that is designed forthe intended application. With most nozzle

types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid Page4 of45

### stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce driftwithout reducing swath width. Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

### Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up eqUipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and 

### dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. 

### Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain 

### in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized 

### by increasing 

### temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be 

### indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. Sensitive Areas 

### The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

### TOBACCO (Flue-Cured Only) Ethephon 2 promotes early, uniform "yellowing" of mature tobacco. Ethephon 2 shortens curing time, allows more efficient use of curing barn space and increases control over harvest scheduling. Ethephon 2 may be applied as a directed spray to the bottom or middle portion of the tobacco plant or as an over-the-top spray. 

### Ethephon 2 

### is most efficacious when applied to mature leaves; that is, not overly rank green leaves. 

### Ethephon 2will not color immature leaves. To determine leaf maturity for proper treatment timing, test spray several plants in more than one location in each field and observe the response. Mature leaves will begin to yellow in 24 to 72 hours. If test leaves fail to yellow within 72 hours, they are not mature and are not ready for Ethephon 2 treatment Wait a few days to permit further maturation, then make another test spray to assess leaf maturity.
To prepare atest spray, mix4 teaspoonfuls of Ethephon 2 in 1 quart ofwater. Apply about 1 ounce to each test plant covering all leaves with a fine mist To determine amount ofcrop to treat, first estimate the numberof leaves per plant that will color, then use bam capacity to calculate the number ofacres to treat. To avoid quality loss and or possible leafdrop, harvest any already-yellowed leaves before application. When 

### to Harvest: Mature treated leaves will begin to color within 24 to 72 hours after Ethephon 2 application. The yellowing process is weather dependent; cool weather will delay, while hot, sunny weather can speed up the process. To determine harvest timing and avoid quality loss or leaf drop, closely monitor treated crop and weather conditions. Harvest treated tobacco when leaves have reached the desired color 

### intensity. Harvest can begin within 48 hours after Ethephon 2 application. Curing Treated Tobacco: Curing procedures must be judged on the basis of tobacco condition, 

### interval between treatment and harvest, weather and type of curing facility before prescription temperature and ventilation schedules can be established. To obtain maximum quality, care must be taken to closely observe and control the currng process, especially during the late "coloring" and early "drying" stages ofthe leaf. Ethephon 2 treated tobacco will have started the coloring process when harvested, which will reduce the time required for the leaf coloring phase of curing. Treated tobacco should be dried faster. If tobacco leaves are green or contain some green when harvested, 

### it may be necessary to color them for a few hours. Ifthe leaves are completely yellow, temperature and ventilation must be adjusted in a 

### manner to dry the tobacco as fast as possible without scalding. Once the leaf is dried (3/4 dry), follow standard procedures for curing. Since 

### Ethephon 2 treated leaves cure faster, treated and untreated leaves should not be cured together in the same barn.

- Turfgrass and Ornamental Amendment SPRAY DRIFT Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow this product to drift on to non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to adjacent crops and vegetation, in the form of leaf yellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. Use of larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OFTHE APPLICATOR.

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determinethe potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dryformulations. 3. The distance 

### ofthe outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 

### 3/4 the length 

### ofthe wingspan or rotor. 4. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered 'rn theAerial Drift Reduction Advisory below: AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling DropletSize
• Volume

- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical sprayvolume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - Do notexceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle

types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higherflow rates are needed, use higherflow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of nozzles

- Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation

- Orienting nozzles so thatthe spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflectionfrom horizontalwill reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle Type

- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle

types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid Page 37 of45

### stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length For some use pattems, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path ofthe aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind pattems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and 

### dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. 

### Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized 

### by increasing 

### temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be 

### indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. Sensitive Areas 

### The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drlft to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

Do not plant another crop WIThin 30 days aftertreatment

Page 3 of 338S678-9-V2-280CT10 RedEagle **Ethephon** 2 EPA Approved Label 

### SPRAY DRIFT Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow this product to drift on to non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to adjacent crops and vegetation, in the form of leaf yellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. Use of larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift.

AVOIDING 

### SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determinethe potentiaJ'for spray drift. 

### The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from 

### aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance ofthe outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 

### 3/4 the length ofthe 

### wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below: AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Information on Droplet Size 

### The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). 

### Controlling Droplet Size • Volume

- Use high fiow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 

### • Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle

types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higherfiow rates are needed, use higherflow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 

### • Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation

- Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream prod uces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle Type

- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid Page 4 of3385678-9N2-280CT10 RedEagle **Ethephon** 2 EPA Approved Label 

### stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 314 of the wingspan or rotor length mayfurther reduce driftwithout reducing swath width. Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

### Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges ofthe field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path ofthe aircraft upWind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type detenmine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can inftuence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drtft. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up eqUipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and 

### dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain 

### in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 

### temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be 

### indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. Sensitive Areas 

### The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target 

### crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing awayfrom the sensitive areas).

APPLES Ethephon 2 promotes fruit maturity and loosens apples, making harvest by hand or machine easier and more efficient. Ethephon 2 applied in combination with FRUITONE® N to control pre-harvest drop stimulates early development of red color and ripening without loosening fruit. When applied to young trees (less than two years old), Ethephon 2 will suppress vegetative growth and promote flower bud formation, For best results, apply a thorough uniform spray. Use sufficient water for thorough uniform spray coverage, based on type ofsprayer and size oftrees. A wetting agent may improve spray coverage. 

### Precautions: • Use ofEthephon 2 can result in overthinning and reduced fruit size, especially on young treesjust

starting to bear. • Environmental factors can affect thinning and return bloom. It is advisable to obtain experience underyour conditions by initially testing only a small percent ofyour trees each yearwith anyone program. 

### • Treat only vigorous trees since excessive growth reduction will 

### result in weak trees.
• Avoid double coverage. 

### • Fruit size reduction may occurwhen used to obtain early maturity, especially if

### fruit is small at time oftreatment • Ifapplied earlier than 3 weeks before normal anticipated harvest may result in reduced fruit quality and size.

### 2 is most efficacious when applied to mature leaves; that is, not overly rank green leaves. Ethephon 

### 2will not color immature leaves. To determine leaf maturity for proper treatment timing, test spray several plants in more than one location in each field and observe the response. Mature leaves will begin to yellow in 24 to 72 hours. If test leaves fail to yellow within 72 hours, they are not mature and are not ready for Ethephon 2

### SPRAY DRIFT Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow this product to drift on to non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to adjacent crops and vegetation, in the form of leaf yellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. Use of larger dropletsize will also reduce spray drift.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFTAT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential'for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from 

### aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dryformulations. 1. The distance ofthe outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 

### 3/4 the length ofthe 

### wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always paint backward parallel with air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below: AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Information on DropletSize 

### The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). 

### Controlling DropletSize

Volume

- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle 

### types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higherflow rates are needed, use higherflow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 

### Nozzle Orientation· Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Nozzle Type

- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle

types, narrower spray angles produce largerdroplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid Page4 of33') 85678-9-V2-280CT10 RedEagle **Ethephon** 2 EPA Approved Label 

### stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effeclive boom length to less than 3/4 ofthe wingspan or rotor length may further reduce driftwithout reducing swath width. Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

### Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path ofthe aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can inftuence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative hurnidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and 

### dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature Inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 

### temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud caver and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be 

### indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. Sensitive Areas 

### The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

### allows more efficient use of curing bam space and increases control over harvest scheduling. Ethephon 2 may be applied as a directed spray to the bottom or middle portion of the tobacco plant oras an over-the-top spray. Ethephon 2 is most efficacious when applied to mature leaves; that is, not overly rank green leaves. Ethephon 2will not color immature leaves. To determine leaf maturity for proper treatment timing, test spray several plants in more than one location in each field and observe the response. Mature leaves will begin to yellow in 24 to 72 hours. If test leaves fail to yellow within 72 hours, they are not mature and are not ready for Ethephon 2 treatment Wait a few days to permIT further maturation, then make another test spray to assess leaf maturity.
To prepare a test spray, mix 4 teaspoonfuls ofEthephon 2 in 1 quart ofwater. Apply about 1ounce to 

### each test plant covering all leaves 

### with a fine mist To determine amount of crop to treat, first estimate the number of leaves per plant that will color, then use bam capacity to calculate the number of acres to treat. To avoid quality loss and or possible leaf drop, harvest any already-yellowed leaves before application. When to Harvest: Mature treated leaves will begin to color within 24 to 72 hours after Ethephon 2 application. The yellowing process is weather dependent; cool weather will delay, while hot, sunny weather can speed up the process. To determine harvest timing and avoid quality loss or leaf drop, closely monitortreated crop and weather conditions. Harvest treated tobacco when leaves have reached the desired color intensity. Harvest can begin within 48 hours after Ethephon 2 application. Curing Treated Tobacco: Curing procedures must be judged on the basis of tobacco condition, interval between treatment and harvest, weather and type of curing facility before prescription temperature and ventilation schedules can be established. To obtain maximum quality, care must be taken to closely observe and control the curing process, especially during the late "coloring" and early "drying" stages ofthe leaf. Ethephon 2 treated tobacco will have started the coloring process when harvested, which will reduce the time required for the leaf coloring phase of curing. Treated tobacco should be dried faster. If tobacco leaves are green or contain some green when harvested, it may be necessary to color them for a few hours. Ifthe leaves are completely yellow, temperature and ventilation must be adjusted in a mannerto dry the tobacco as fast as possible without scalding. Once the leaf is dried 

### (3/4 dry), follow standard procedures for curing. Since Ethephon 2 treated leaves cure faster, treated and untreated leaves should not be cured together in the same bam.

### droplet size will also reduce spray drift. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFTATTHE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THEAPPLICATOR. The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance ofthe outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 

### 3/4 the length ofthe 

### wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below: AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Information on DropletSize The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). 

### Controlling Droplet Size

Volume

- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles WITh higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 

### Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higherflow rates are needed, use higherflow 

### rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Number of nozzles

- Use the minimum numberof nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation

- Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle Type

- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. WITh most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce largerdroplets. Consider using low-drift .nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. > , >**~** "">. > , Boom Length

### safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.

Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path ofthe aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and eqUipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidify, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to 

### compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. 

### Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized 

### by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. Sensitive Areas The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing awayfrom the sensitive areas).

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 agricultural 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 (PPE), notification to workers, and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses ofthis product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allowworker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of48 hours. The REI is 72 hours in areas where average rainfall is less than 25 inches per year. 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 orwater is coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and protective eyewear. For overhead exposure, chemical-resistant headgear is also required. 

### Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrance to treated areas.


### INFORMATION Ethephon 2 promotes earlier fruit coloration and maturation when used on APPLES, BLACKBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, CANTALOUPES, CHERRIES, GRAPES, PEPPERS, PINEAPPLE, SUGARCANE, TOBACCO and TOMATOES. It also aids in barrenberry control on BLUEBERRIES. Ethephon 2 loosens APPLES, BLACKBERRIES, CHERRIES and WALNUTS for earlier, more efficient harvest. When applied as directed to CANTALOUPES, it also promotes fruit abscission (slipping). Ethephon 2 increases dormantfruit bud hardiness and delayed spring bloom of SWEET CHERRIES in the Pacific Northwest Ethephon 2 reduces lodging in WHEAT and BARLEY. Ethephon 2 removes dwarf mistletoe from ORNAMENTAL CONIFERS and leafy mistletoe from ORNAMENTAL DECIDUOUS TREES. Ethephon 2 eliminates undesirable fruit from APPLE, CRABAPPLE, CAROB, and OLIVE TREES. When used on TURFGRASSES, Ethephon 2 retards grass growth to reduce mowing frequency. For local recommendations on rates, spray volumes (gallons ofwater per acre), and spray equipment under varying temperature and rainfall conditions consult your Extension Pomologist, Horticultural

### APPLICATION VOLUMES AND SPRAY COVERAGE Thorough spray coverage is essential to achieve maximum product effectiveness. Spray coverage is affected by choice of equipment, nozzle selection and spray boom setup as well as spray pressure, plant size and canopy density. For both air and ground applications, it is important to choose an equipment setup that will assure thorough coverage of plant canopy (foliage and fruit). The actual spray volume required will vary with the size and density ofthe plant canopy and the equipment used. In Califomia and Arizona use a volume of no less than 5 gallons per acre for aerial applications. USE PRECAUTIONS DO NOT MIX ETHEPHON 2 WITH AMMONIUM THIOSULFATE. SUCH TANK MIXTURES MAY RESULT IN FORMATION OF TOXIC FUMES. Mix only the amount ofspray you expect to use each day. Do not allow mixed solution to stand ovemight.

.. Avoid spray driftto nearby crops as this product will cause modification in plant growth. Plant injury or reduced yields will result. Do not plant another crop within 30 days after treatment Do not use Ethephon 2 with additives other than recommended on this label. Avoid spills ofconcentrated product on spray equipment or airplane parts. IMMEDIATELY RINSE ANY SPILLS WITH PLENTY OF WATER AS ETHPHON 2 IS CORROSIVE. EQUIPMENT CLEANING Because of the acidic nature of this product, prolonged exposure to spray deposits will damage acrylic plastics, certain paints, and metals. Rinse thoroughly all exposed acrylic-plastic materials and painted surfaces with a detergent and waterwithin one hour after exposure to spray deposits.

### USE INSTRUCTIONS APPLES 

### Ethephon 2 promotes fruit maturity and loosens apples, making harvest by hand or machine easier and more efficient. Ethephon 2 applied in combination with FRUITONE® N to control pre-harvest drop stimulates early development of red color and ripening without loosening fruit When applied to young trees, Ethephon 2 will suppress vegetative growth and promote flower bud formation. For best results, apply a thorough uniform spray. Use sufficient water for thorough uniform spray coverage, based on type ofsprayer and size oftrees. A welting agent may improve spray coverage. 

### Precautions:
• Use of Ethephon 2 can result in over thinning and reduced fruit size, especially on young treesjust

starting to bear. • Environmental factors can affect thinning and return bloom. 

### It is advisable to obtain experience

underyourconditions by initially testing only a small percent ofyour trees each yearwith anyone program. 

### • Treat only vigorous trees since excessive growth reduction will result on weak trees.
• Avoid double coverage. • Fruit size reduction may occurwhen used to obtain early maturity, especially iffruit is small at time

### TOBACCO 

### (Flue-Cured Only) Ethephon 2 promotes early, uniform "yellowing" of mature tobacco. Ethephon 2 shortens curing time, 

### allows more efficient use of curing barn space and increases control over harvest scheduling. Ethephon 2 may be applied as a directed spray to the bottom or middle portion ofthe tobacco plant or as an over-the-top spray. Ethephon 2 is most efficacious when applied to mature leaves; that is, not overly rank green leaves. Ethephon 2will not color immature leaves. To determine leaf maturity for proper treatment timing, test spray several plants in more than one location in each field and observe the response. Mature leaves will begin to yellow in 24 to 72 hours. If test leaves fail to yellow within 72 hours, they are not mature and are not ready for Ethephon 2 treatment Wait a few days to permit further maturation, then make another test spray to assess leaf maturity.
To prepare atest spray, mix 4 teaspoonfuls of Ethephon 2 in 1 quart ofwater. Apply about 1 ounce to each test plant covering all leaves with afine mist To determine amount ofcrop to treat, first estimate the number of leaves per plant that will color, then use bam capacityto calculate the number ofacres to treat. To avoid quality loss and or possible leafdrop, harvest any already-yellowed leaves before application. When to Harvest: 

### Mature treated leaves will begin to color within 24 to 72 hours after Ethephon 2 application. The yellowing process is weather dependent; cool weather will delay, while hot, sunny weather can speed up the process. To detennine harvest timing and avoid quaJrty loss or leaf drop, 

### closely monitortreated crop and weather conditions. Harvesttreated tobacco when leaves have reached the desired color intensity. Harvest can begin within 48 hours after Ethephon 2 application. Curing Treated Tobacco: 

### Curing procedures must be judged on the basis of tobacco condition, interval between treatment and harvest, weather and type of curing facility before prescription temperature and ventilation schedules can be established. To obtain maximum quality, care must be taken to closely observe and control the curing process, especially during the late "coloring" and early "drying" stages ofthe leaf. , " •

### TOBACCO (continued) Application Rate Specific Directions Method Pints/Acre Directed Spray 4.0 Use drop nozzles with TG or OC spray tips designed to apply 50-60 GPA at 35-40 psi when tractor speed is 2-3 mph. Use 2 nozzles per row (one nozzle on each side of the row and positioned to direct the spray to the target leaves to be ripened for harvest Thorough spray coverage is essential. For directed sprays, harvest all leaves with 20% or more yellowing. Over-the-Top 4.0-8.0 Treat only when all leaves remaining on the plant are mature. To ensure Spray 

### remaining leaves are mature, test spray several tobacco plants as described underthe section "Application Timing". Use the lower rate on a typically mature crop when experience indicates that minimum ripening inducement is required. Use the higher rate when the crop is heavy and has a tendency to be more rank. Use higher rates only during cool, slow ripening conditions when temperatures are below 65°F at the time of treatment Always test spray to detenmine if the tobacco is mature enough to respond to treatment with Ethephon 2 Apply over-the-top spray as a fine mist at 40-60 psi, using three nozzles per row (one nozzle over the center ofthe plant and one on each side) to assure thorough coverage (e.g., similar to that for applications ofsystemic sucker control agents).

USE LIMITATIONS • Do not apply Ethephon 2 to immature tobacco leaves as this can result in unsatisfactory coloring,

weight loss and reduced leafquality. • Do not allow the crop to over ripen in the field after using Ethephon 2, since this may cause some reduction in yield and quality. • Do not apply higher rates when temperatures are above 65°F at the time oftreatment • Do nottreat before anticipated major storm which could prevent harvest and result in crop loss. • Do not apply Ethephon 2 if rain is expected within 6 hours. • Do not harvest treated tobacco sooner than 2 days after application. • Do not apply more than 8.0 pints of Ethephon 2 per acre peryear.

### (For Use Only In California) Ethephon 2 will IQosen walnuts for increased efficiency of mechanical harvest, promote earlier harvest, improve hull removal, and increase recoverable yields from an once-over harvest. Thorough uniform coverage of walnut hulls is essential for maximum hull split and nut loosening response. Choose equipment for maximum spray penetration ofthe tree canopy. Use large air carrier sprayers where tree size jeopardizes coverage. Volute sprayer attachments may help. Precautions: • Treatment prior to packing tissue brown (mature) stage may reduce nut quality. • Some leafdrop is associated with treatment. • Accurately measure dosage rates, since rates higherthan recommended may resultin tree injury (such as excessive defoliation, reduced catkin formation and twig dieback).

Desired Effect Promoting Earlier Harvest Rate Pints/Acre 3.0-5.0 Specific Directions For best results, use a foliar spray wtth concentrations of 300 to 900 ppm. Refer to spray Ethephon 2 preparation chart below. Under low temperatures and/or low humidity conditions use the higher label rates. Expect less time between application and harvest with higher label rates. 

### For best results treat when air temperatures are between 60°F and 95°F. Expect reduced effectiveness if above 90°F with low humidity due to spray evaporation. Advancing Harvest: Apply when 95%-100% of the nuts have reached maturtty. Inspect frequently and harvest as soon as adequate 

### hullability occurs generally 10-16 days after treatment depending on variety and weather conditions. Plan second shake 10-12 days after first shake. Once Over Harvest: Apply to mature walnuts 10 days prior to expected harvest date. Expect actual harvest to range from 7-12 days after treatment.

Page 29 of338S678-XX-V1-1 JUL10 RedEagle Ethephon 2 DRAFT LABEL Precautions:


### • Ethephon 2 is not effective on crops that have already lodged. • Decreased yields or product quality may result if Ethephon 2 is not properly used. • Using Ethephon 2 on non-lodging varieties may result in yield loss. • Moisture, temperature, or disease stress at or after application of Ethephon 2 can result in yield loss. 

### • Avoid spray overlap which may result in excess rate and yield loss. • For Ethephon 2 to be effective, observe temperature limitations at application as described below.

Also, the temperature after application should be at least 600F. • Ethephon 2 may affect disease infestation (septoria, rust, mildew, etc.). Use a fungicide control

program where needed. • Use ofEthephon 2 may delay heading 1to 2 days and delay harvest maturity 1 to 4 days. Extreme

temperatures-below 350F or above 850F in non-irrigated crops, or 900in irrigated (irops-within 5 days after application may cause further delay in maturity.

SPRAY DRIFT Avoid spray drift. DO NOT applywhen weather cohditions may cause drift. DO NOT allow this productto drift on to non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or: Injury to adjacent crops and vegetation, in the form of !eaf yellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. Use of larger**~roplet** size will also reduce spray drift. AVOIDING SPRAYDRIFTAT THE**APPLfC~**TlON SITEIS THERESPONSIBILITYOF THEAPPLICATOR. T)1e interaction of many**equipment~and-weather-related** factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible forconsidering all these factors when making decisions.

. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from <lerial**ap~ication.s** to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance ofthe outer most nozzles on the boom !!lust not exceed 3f4 the length ofthe wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with air stream and never be pointed downwards.more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into accounlthe information covered 'In the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below:

. AERtAL DRtFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Information on DropletSize

. The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large drop!ets. The best drift management stralegy is.to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and contro!. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but wiU not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmenta! conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and**T.emperatur~** Inversions).

2Controlling DropletSize i 

### !

Volume

- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce largerdroplets. Pressure

- DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher now ratesare needed, use higherflow rate nozzles instead ofincreasing pressure. Numberof nozzles

- Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. ' Nozzle Orientation

- orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. ' Nozzle Type

- Use a nozzle type that is designed forthe intended application. Wijh most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest·drift. Soom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than '% ofthe wingspan orrotor length mayfurther reduce drift without reduCing swath width. AppllcatJon Height Applications should not be made at a height greaterthan 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a grealer height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure ofdroplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, lhe swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges oftlie field, the appllcator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path ofthe aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance shQuld increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.). Wtnd Drift polential is lowest between wind speeds bf 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet'size and equipment type determine drift polential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind pattems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and howthey affect spray drift. Temperature and Humtdity When making applications in lowrelative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensaleforevaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severewhen conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is h·Ig"i. Temperature 'Inversions resirict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to nowind. They begin tt? form as the sun sets and .often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated byground fog; however, iffog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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 lowwind conditions) indicates an inversion,while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

. SensltJveAreas The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitatfor threatened or end.angered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areos).

GENERAL INFORMATION Ethephon 2SC promotes earlier fruit coloration and maturation when used on APPLES, BLACKBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES" CANTALOUPES, CHERRIES, GRAPES, PEPPERS, PINEAPPLE, SUGARCANE, TOBACCO and TOMATOES. Italso aids.in barrenberry control on BLUEBERRIES. Ethephon 2SC loosens'APPLES, BLACKBERRIES, CHERRIES, and WALNUTS for earlier, more efficient harvest. When applied as directed to CANTALOUPES, it also promotes fruit abscission (slipping). Ethephon 2SC increases dormant fruit bud hardiness and delayed spring bloom of SWEET CHERRIES in the Pacific Northwest. Ethephon 2SC reduces lodging in WHEAT and BARLEY. Ethephon 2SC removes dwarf mistletoe from ORNAMENTAL CONIFERS and leafy mistletoe from ORNAMENTAL DECIDUOUS TREES. Ethephon 2SC eliminates undesirable fruit.from APPLE, CRABAPPLE, CAROB and OLIVE TREES. When used on TURFGRASSES, Ethephon 2SC retards grass growth to reduce mowing frequency.

USE LIMITATIONS R,te PintsfAcre 1.25-4.0 Specific Directions Apply Ethephon 2SC as a foliar spray to bell peppers when 10% offruil are red and chocolate ,and to chili and pimento pepper varieties when 10% to 30% offruit are red and chocolate and there is sufficient mature green fruit to produce desired tonnage. Ethephon 2SC will not ripen immature, green fruit. Use the higher rate when cool temperatures are anticipated (less' than 6S·F), when pi'ants are growing vigorously or when foliage is dense, to assure thorough wetting ofall leaves and fruit. Use the lower rates with lower spray volumes (1.25 to 2.0 pint rate in 20 gallA) and higher rates with higher volumes (3.0- 4.0 pints/40 gallA). The 3.0-4.0. pint rate ,in less than 40 GPA may cause.foliage burn under hotdrvconditions.

. Remarks

.Check several field locations to delermine crop stage and degree of maturity. Ethephon 2SC treatments may reduce total Yields if applied too early or there is a lack of uniform, mature, green fruit resulting from split fruit set or variable soil cultural practices.

Ethephon 2SC shortens curing lime, allows' more efficient use ofcuring barn space and increases control over harvest scheduling. Elhephon 2SC may be applied as a directed spray 10 the bottom or middle portion ofthe tobacco plant or as an over·the-top spray. Ethephon 2SC is most efficacious when applied to mature**leaves~** that is, not overly rank green leaves, Ethephon 2SC; will not color immature leaves. To determine leaf maturity for proper treatment timing, test spray several plants in more than one location in each field and observe the response. Mature leavesw·!if begin to yellowin 24 to 72 hours. Iftest leaves fail to yellow within 72 hours, they are not mature and are not ready for Ethephon 2SC treatment. Wait a few days to permil further maturation, then make another test spray'to assess leaf maturity. To prepare a test spray, mix 4 teaspoonfuls of Ethephon 2SC in 1 quarl of water. Apply about t ounce to each test plant covering all leaveswith a fine mist

. To detennine amount of crop to treat, first estimate the number of leaves per plant that will color, then use barn capacity to calculate the number ofacresto tree!. To avoid quality loss and or possible leafdrop, harvest any already-yellowed leaves before applicalion. When to Harvest: Mature treated leaves will begin to color within 24 to 72 hours after Ethephon 2SC application. The yellowing process is weather dependent; cool weather will delay, while hot, sunny weather can speed up the process. To determine harvesttiming and avoid quafity loss or leafdrop, closely monitortreated crop and weatherconditions. Harvest treated tobaccowhen leaves have reached the desired color Intensity. Harvest can begin within 48 hours afte( Ethephon 2SC application. Curing Treated Tobacco: Curing procedures must bejudged on the basis oftobacco condition, interval between treatment and harvest, weather and type of curing facility before prescription temperature and ventilation schedules can be establish.ed. To obtain maximum quality, care must be taken to closely observe and control the curing process, especially during the late ·coloring" and early "drying" stages ofthe leaf. Ethephon 2SC treated tobacco will have started the coloring process when harvested, which will reduce the time required for the leaf colOring phase of curing. Treated tobacco should be dried faster. Iftobacco leaves are green or contain some green when harvested, it may be n'ecessary to color them for a few hours. If the leaves are completely yellow, temperature arid ventilation must be adjusted in a manner to dry the tobacco as fast as possible without scalding. Once the leaf is dried (3/4 dry), follow standard procedures for curing. Since Ethephon 2SC treated leaves cure faster, treated an:! untreated leaves .should not be cured together inthe same barn.

. . Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below: AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature 

### Inversions). Controlling DropletSize

Volume

- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higherflow rates are needed, use higherflow

### unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure ofdroplets to evaporation and wind.

Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind 1..---/-- 

### Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size 'lperequipment type determine drift potentiiii at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can infiue""i'iCe wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity vWhen making applications in low relative humidity, set up eqUipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and 

### dry. Temperature Inversions 

### Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain 

### in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 

### temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be 

### indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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.

### TOBACCO (Flue-Cured Only) Ethephon 2 promotes early, uniform "yellowing" of mature tobacco. Ethephon 2 shortens curing time, allows more efficient use ofcuring barn space and increases control over harvest scheduling. Ethephon 2 may be applied as a directed spray to the bottom or middle portion ofthe tobacco plant or as an over-the-top spray. Ethephon 2 is most efficacious when applied to mature leaves; that is, not overly rank green leaves. Ethephon 2will not color immature leaves. To determine leaf maturity for proper treatment timing, test spray several plants in more than one location in each field and observe the response. Mature leaves will begin to yellow in 24 to 72 hours. If test leaves fail to yellow within 72 hours, they are not mature and are not ready for Ethephon 2 treatment Wait a few days to penmit further maturation, then make another test spray to assess leaf maturity.
To prepare a test spray, mix4 teaspoonfuls of Ethephon 2 in 1 quart ofwater. Apply about 1 ounce to each test plant covering all leaves with a fine mist To determine amount ofcrop to treat, first estimate the number of leaves per plant that will color, then use bam capacityto calculate the number ofacres to treat. To avoid quality loss and or possible leafdrop, harvest any already-yellowed leaves before application. When to Harvest: Mature treated leaves will begin to color within 24 to 72 hours after Ethephon 2 application. The yellowing process is weather dependent; cool weather will delay, while hot, sunny weather can speed up the process. To detenmine harvest timing and avoid quality loss or leaf drop, closely monitortreated crop and weather conditions. Harvest treated tobacco when leaves have reached the desired color intensity. Harvest can begin within 48 hours after Ethephon 2 application. Curing Treated Tobacco: Curing procedures must be judged on the basis of tobacco condition, interval between treatment and harvest, weather and type of curing facility belore prescription temperature and ventilation schedules can be established. To obtain maximum quality, care must be taken to closely observe and control the curing process, especially during the late**"colorih'g'~**

### (continued) Application Rate 

### Specific Directions Method Pints/Acre Directed Spray 4.0 Use drop nozzles with TG or OC spray tips designed to apply 50-60 GPA at 35-40 psi when tractor speed is 2-3 mph. Use 2 nozzles per row (one nozzle on each side of the row and positioned to direct the spray to the target leaves to be ripened for harvest Thorough spray coverage is essential. For directed sprays, harvest all leaves with 20% or more yellowing. Over-the-Top 4.0-8.0 Treat only when all leaves remaining on the plant are mature. To ensure Spray 

### remaining leaves are mature, test spray several tobacco plants as described under the section "Application Timing". Use the lower rate on a typically mature crop when experience indicates that minimum ripening 

### inducement is required. Use the higher rate when the crop is heavy and has a tendency to be more rank. Use higher rates only during cool, slow ripening conditions when temperatures are below 65'F at the time of treatment Always test spray to determine if the tobacco is mature enough to respond to treatment with Ethephon 2 Apply over-the-top spray as a fine mist at 40-60 psi, using three nozzles per row (one nozzle over the center of the plant and one on each side) to assure thorough coverage (e.g., similar to that for applications ofsystemic sucker control agents).

USE LIMITATIONS 

### • Do not apply Ethephon 2 to immaturetobacco leaves as this can result in unsatisfactory coloring,

### (For Use Only In California) Ethephon 2 will 10,osen walnuts for increased efficiency of mechanical harvest, promote earlier harvest, improve hull removal, and increase recoverable yields from an once-over harvest. Thorough uniform coverage of walnut hulls is essential for maximum hull split and nut loosening response. Choose equipmentfor maximum spray penetration ofthe tree canopy. Use large air carrier sprayers where tree sizejeopardizes coverage. Volute sprayer attachments may help. 

### Precautions:
• Treatment priorto packing tissue brown (mature) stage may reduce nut quality. • Some leafdrop is associated with treatment. 

### • Accurately measure dosage rates, since rates higherthan recommended niay resultin tree injury (such as excessive defoliation, reduced catkin formation and twig dieback).

### application. IfcondITions are dry and hot, continue irrigation through the grain head filling period. Significant yield loss may result from moisture and heat stress during antitheses and grain fill. When using Ethephon 2, it is important to avoid plant stress during these growth periods to obtain optimum yield and quality. Page 29 of338567B-XX-V1-1 JUL10 RedEagle Ethephon 2 DRAFT LABEL Precautions:

o 

### Ethephon 2 is not effective on crops that have already lodged.

o 

### Decreased yields or product quality may result if Ethephon 2 is not properly used.

o 

### Using Ethephon 2 on non-lodging varieties may result in yield loss.

o 

### Moisture, temperature, or disease stress ator after application of Ethephon 2 can result in yield loss.

o 

### Avoid spray overlap which may result in excess rate and yield loss.

o 

### For Ethephon 2to be effective, observe temperature limitations at application as described below.

Also, the temperature after application should be at least 60' F.

o 

### Ethephon 2 may affect disease infestation (septaria, rust, mildew, etc.). Use a fungicide control

program where needed.

o 

### Use of Ethephon 2 may delay heading 1to 2 days and delay harvest maturity 1 to 4 days. Extreme

temperatures-below 35' F or above 85' F in non-irrigated crops, or 90' in irrigated Crops-within 5 days after application may cause further delay in maturity.

o 

### Use of Ethephon 2 may increase secondary tillers in some spring barleys, especially under

temperature or moisture stress, Ground Application: Apply with at least of 7 gallons of water per acre when using conventional ground equipment. Flat fan nozzles are recommended. Use at least of 5 gallons of water per acre with controlled droplet application (CDA) or air foil type equipment. Adjust spray boom to plant canopy height and operate at a moderate speed to prevent uneven application. Aerial Application: Use at least 3 gallons ofwater per acre. Tank Mixtures: Ethephon 2 can be tank mixed with approved cereal fungicides and inseelicides if timing offungicide or insecticide application coincides with Ethephon 2 application timing. Do not apply tank mixtures of Ethephon 2to crops that are stressed by adverse weather conditions, low moisture, cold, heat or by disease or insect damage, since crop yield loss or injury may result. Tank mixtures of Ethephon 2 plus Tilt®fungicide applied by air under stress conditions may result in flag leaf burn and yield loss. Do not mix Ethephon 2 with herbicides or nitrogen solutions. Do not add surfactants, adjuvants orwetting agents to Ethephon 2 Treatment Decision Guide: IMPORTANT-Just prior to application, inspect fields to determine the probability of lodging. Apply Ethephon 2 only underthe following conditions:

Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top 01 the target plants unless a greater height is required foraircraft sately. Making applicationsatthe lowestheight that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjuslment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate forthis displacementby adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increasewith increasing drift potential (higherwind, smallerdrops. etc.). Wind Drill potential is towest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors. including droplet size and equipment type determine drilt potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every appijcEltor should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce ·Iarger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is mostsevere when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should nol occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict verticat air mixing Wllich causes smalt suspended droptets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictabte directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature Inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude andare common on nights with limitedcloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue intothe morning.Theirpresence canbe indicated by ground fog; however, If log is not present, inversions 'can also be identilied by the movement ot smoke from a ground soun::e 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 goodvertical air mixing. SensitiveAreas The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensit'lve areas (e.g., residentiat areas, bodies ot water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing awayfromthe sansitive areas). DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a vlotalion of Federal taw 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 handters may be in the area during application. For any requirements specitic to your State orTribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulations. Read the entire label before usingthis product. 3

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users Should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, usingtobacco or using the toiJet. Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing, Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside ofgloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS DO NOT contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. DO NOT apply directlyto water, orto areas where surface water is present orto intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOTcontaminate water when disposing ofeqUipment washwaters. Avoid spray drift to nearby crops as this productwill cause modifications in plant growth. Plant injury or reduced yields may result. DO NOT plant another crop within 30 days aftertreatment. SPRAY DRIFT Avoid spray drifl:. DO NOT applywhen weather conditions may cause drift DO NOT allowthis productto drifton to non-target areas. Drift may result In illegal residues or injuryto adjacent crops and vegetation, in theform ofleafyellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply aerially when wind speed is greaterthan 10 mph or during periods oftemperature Inversions. Use of larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift. AVOIDING SPRA YDRIFTATTHEAPPLjCATIONSITEIS THE RESPONSIBILITYOF THEAPPLICATOR. The interaction of many**equipment-and-weather~related** factors determine the potential forspray drift. The applicator Is responsible for consideringall these factorswhen making decis'rons. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movementfrom aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not applyto forestryapplications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. The distance ofthe outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length olthewingspan or rotor. Nozzles must always point backward parallelwith the air stream and never be pOinted downwards morethan 45 degrees. Wherestates have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicatorshould befamiliarwith andtake into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below: AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Informationon DroptetSize The most effectiveway to reduce drift potential isto apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy isto apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets' reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humicfrty, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling DropletSize Volume

- Use high flow rate nozzles to appty the hIghest practical spray volUme. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure

- DO NOT exceed the nome manufacturer's recommended pressures, For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higherflow rates are needed, use higherflow rate nozzles instead ofincreasing pressure. Number ofnozzles

- Use the minimum numberofnozzles that provide uniform coverage. ."**~** " Nozzle Orientation

- Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droglets**than~**other**orient~lions** and is the recommended practiCe. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet ,sj.7ft1,**3.~~d) :I':c:~case.**  drift potential. , .' Nozzle Type

Application Height Applicallons should not be madeat a height greaterthan 10 feet above the top ofthe target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications atthe lowest height that is safe reduces exposure ofdroplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjusbnent When applications are madewith a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higherwind, smaller drops, etc.).
Wind Drift potential is lowest between Wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high Inversion potential. NOTE: local terrain can influencewind patterns. Every appUcator should be familiarwith local wind patterns and howthey affect spray drilt Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are bolh hotand dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into Ihe morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. SensitiveArou The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residenlial areas, bodies ofwater, known habilat forthreatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing awayfromthe sensitive areas).

GENERAL INFORMATION Ethephon 2SL promotes eartier fruit coloration and maturation when used on APPLES, BLA.CKBERR!ES, BLUEBERR!ES, CANTALOUPES, CHERRIES, GRAPES, PEPPERS, PINEAPPLE, SUGARCANE, TOBACCO and WMATOES. It also aids in barrenberry control on BLUEBERRIES. Ethephon 2SL loosens APPLES, BLACKBERRIES, CHERRIES and WALNUTS for earlier, more efficient harvest. When applied as directed to CANTALOUPES, it also promotes fruit abscissIon (sUpping). Ethephon 2SL increases donnant fruit bud hardiness and delayed spring bloom of SWEET CHERRIES in the Pacific Northwest. Ethephon 2SL reduces lodging in WHEAT and BARLEY. Ethephon 2SL removes dwaJi mistretoe from ORNAMENTAL CONIFERS and leafy mistletoe from ORNAMENTAL DECtDUOUS TREES. Ethephon 2SL eliminates undesirable fruit from APPLE, CRABAPPLE, CAROB and OUVETREES. When used onTURFGRASSES, Ethephon 2SL retards grass growth to reduce mowingfrequency.
For local recommendations on rates, spray volumes (gallons ofwater per acre), and spray eqUipment undervarying temperature and rainfall condflions consult your Extension Pomo!oglst, Hort!cultural Specialist, or Farm Advisorfor h!s experience with this product in your area. APPLICATION VOLUMESAND SPRAY COVERAGE Thorough spray coverage is essential to achieve maximum product effectiveness. Spray coverage is affected by choice of eqUipment, nozzle selection and spray boom setup as well as spray pressure, plant size and canopy density. For both air and ground applications, it is important to choose an eqUipment setup that will assure thorough coverage ofplant canopy (foUage and fruit). The actual spray volume required will vary with the size and density of the plant canopy and the equipment used. In CalifornIa and Arizona use avolume ofno less than 5 gaUons per acre foraerial appUcatlons. USE PRECAUTIONS DO NOT M!X Ethephon 2SLWITHAMON!UM TH!OSULFATE. SUCH TANK MIXTURES MAY RESULT IN FORMAT!ON OF roXlC FUMES. Mix only the amount ofspray you expectto useeach day. DO NOTallow mixed solution to stand overnIght AvoId spray drift to nearby crops as this product will cause modification in plant gro'Nth. Plant injUry or reduced yields will result. DO NOTplant anothercrop within 30daysaftertreatment DO NOT use Ethephon 2SLwith additives other than recommended on this label. AVoid spills ofconcentrated product on spray equipment orairplane parts_ !MMEDIATELY RINSE ANY SPILLS W!TH PLENTY OFWATER AS Ethephon 2SL is CORROSIVE. EQUIPMENT CLEANING Because ofthe acidic nature ofthis product, prolonged exposure to spray deposits will damage acrylic plastics, certain paints, and metals. Rinse thoroughly an exposed acrylic-plastic materials and painted surfaces with a detergent and water within one hour after exposureto spray deposits. APPLES Ethephon 2SL promotes fruit maturity and loosens apples, making harvest by hand or machine easier and more efficient. Ethephon 2SL applied in combination With FRUlroNeC' N to control pre-harvest drop stimulates early development of red color and ripening without loosening fruit. When applied to young trees, Ethephon 2SLwill suppress vegetative growth and promote flower bud fonnation. For best results, apply a thorough uniform spray. Use sufficient water for thorough unifo:rm spray coverage, based on type of sprayer and size oftrees. Awetting agent mayimprove spray coverage. Precautions: Use of Ethephon 2SL can result in over thinning and reduced fruit size, especiaUy on young treesjuststartingto bear. • Environmenta! factors can affect thinning and retum broom.

, ' TOBACCO (Flue-Cured Only) Ethephon 2SL promotes early, uniform 'yellowing" of mature tobacco. Ethephon 2SL shortens curing time, allows more efficient use of curing bam space and increases control over harvest scheduling. Ethephon 2SL may be applied as a directed spraytothe bottom ormiddle portion ofthe tobacco plant orasan over-the-top spray. Ethephon 2SL is most efficacious when applied to mature leaves; that is, not overly rank green leaves. Ethephon 2SL will not color immature leaves. To determine leafmaturttyfor propertreatment timing, test spray several plants in morethan one location in each field and observe the response. Mature leaves will begin to yellow in 24 to 72 hours. Iftest leaves faiJ to yellow within 72 hours, they are not mature and are not ready for Ethephon 2SL treatment Wait a few days to permit further maturation, then make another test spray to assess leaf maturity. To prepare a test spray, mix 4 teaspoonfuls of Ethephon 2SL in 1 quart ofwater. Apply about 1 ounceto each test plant covering all leaves with a fine mist To detennine amount ofcrop totreat, frrst estimatethe numberofleaves per plantthatwill color, then use bam capacityto calculatethe numberofacres to treat To avoid qualityloss andor possible leafdrop, harvest any already-yellowed leaves before application.
When to Harvest: Mature treated leaves will begin to color within 24 to 72 hours after Ethephon 2SL application. The yellowing process is weather dependent; cool weather will delay, while hot, sunny weather can speed up the process. To determine harvest timing and avoid quality loss orleafdrop, closely monitorIreated crop andweather conditions. Harvesttreated tobacco when leaves have reached the desired color intensity. Harvestcan begin within 48 hours afterEthephon 2SL application. Curing Treated Tobaoeo: Curing procedures must be judged on the basis of tobacco condition, interval behNeen treatment and**harves~** weather and type of curing facility before prescription temperature and ventilation SChedules can be established. To obtain maximum quality, care must be taken to closely observe and control the curing process, especially during the late "colOring" and early "drying" stages ofthe leaf. Ethephon 2SL trealed tobaccowill have started the coloring process when harvested, which will reduce the time required for the leaf coloring phase ofcUring. Treated tobacco should be dried fasler. Iftobacco leaves are green orcontain some greenwhen harvested, it may be necessary to color them for a few hours. Ifthe leaves are completely yelloW, temperature andventUation must be adjusted in a manner to dry the tobacco as fast as possible without scalding. Oncethe leaf is dried (3f4 dry), follow standard procedures for curing. Since Ethephon 2SLtreated leaves cure faster, treated and untreated leaves should not be cured togetherin the same bam.

• DO NOT apply more than 8.0 pints of Ethephon 2SL peracre peryear. TOMATOES Ethephon 2SL accelerates tomato ripening when applied with thorough, uniform coverage of foliage and fruit. For ground or air application choose equipment and spray volumes that win assure adequate spray coverage. OVerdosing from overlapping swaths or spray nozzle patterns can cause severe foliage injUry. If application is banded overthe row, reduce the amount of Ethephon 2SL in proportion tothe area actually treated. TOMATOES (PROCESSED): Ethephon 2SL accelerates and concentrates the ripening of mature green fruit, thereby increasing recoverable fruit yield from once-over harvest and allowing growers to schedule harvest and handling more effectivelY.
