GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS 

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS 

LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE, CROP INJURY, OR ILLEGAL 

RESIDUES. 

GENERAL 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 
Palisade EC 

Page 7 

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. 

GENERAL 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. 

Rotational Crops: There are no rotational crop restrictions. 

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: To avoid spray drift, do not apply when conditions favor drift 

beyond the target area. Avoid spray overlap as crop injury may occur. The interaction 

of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. 

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF 

THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. More information on managing spray drift 

can be found on the Syngenta Crop Protection website under Stewardship: 

http://www.syngentacropprotection.com/Env_Stewardship/driftmanagement/index.aspx?

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. 
Palisade EC 

Page 8 

 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: 

(1) maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles. 

(2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this requires 

recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute. 

 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 1⁄2-2⁄3 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 gals/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 qt. 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. 
Palisade EC 

Page 9 

• Observe all directions for use, precautions, and limitations which appear on tank mix 

partner label. 

Mixing in the Spray Tank 

• Add 1⁄2-2⁄3 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. 

• 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 or Quilt Fungicide. 

• 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 gals. of water per acre, unless specified otherwise. 

 Do not apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system. 

 Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. 

Aerial Application: 

 Thorough coverage is necessary to provide a good, uniform effect. 

 A minimum of 2 gallons 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. 
Palisade EC 

Page 10 

• Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result 

from non-uniform distribution of treated water. 

• Apply in 0.125 - 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. 

• 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 watersource contamination from backflow. 

2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quickclosing 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. 
Palisade EC 

Page 11 

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. 

• Determine the size of the area to be treated. 

• Determine the time required to apply 1⁄8-1⁄2 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 

• 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. 
Palisade EC

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 

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, quickclosing 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.
