## .. GENERAL INFORMATION Ethephon AG 6 is a plant growth regulator which penetrates plant tissues and degrades to ethylene which affects the growth process of the plant. Ethephon AG 6 can be applied as foliar applications to cotton to accelerate boll opening and improve defoliation. These features permit harvest to occur sooner and more efficiently, and may increase yields compared to untreated cotton fields. When Ethephon AG 6 is applied as foliar sprays to mature tobacco (flue-cured), the leaves uniformly turn yellow. This feature provides flexibility in scheduling harvest and also reduces curing time.


### SPRAY DRIFT AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines 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 drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural f!eld crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length ofthe fixed wingspan ordiameterofthe rotor. 2. Nozzles must always paint backward parallel with the air stream and ,13,1.3,

### familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduct'on Adl[iso[y Information, below. Aerial Drift Reduction AdviSOry Information [This section is advisory in nature and does notsupersedethe mandatory label requirementsj. Information on Droplet Size: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large dmplets. 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).



### 3

### 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 higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing 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 for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using**low~drift** 

### nozzles. -3Qlid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the low%"[**jri~.** 

### Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less tha"

### C 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 var"lable 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: This pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent s:mJitivc areas (e,g., residential areas, bodies ofwater, known habitat for threatened or endanae'reCi :species,**non~** 

### target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
USE PRECAUTIONS • Do not apply Ethephon AG 6 through any type of irrigation system. • Do not allow spray to drift to nearby crops as this product will affect plant growth r<o,,>,,!.lti:ig in iniury or reduced yields. • Do not prepare more spray solution than can be used in one day. Clean out the spray tank aft<or W:S 

### and do not allow the spray solution to remain in the sprayer overnight. ""

. MIXING DIRECTIONS Caution: Do not prepare more spray solution than required for one day's use. Do not allow the spray solution to stand overnight Avoid spilling the concentrated product on any spray equipment or on airplane parts (a nurse tank is recommended to help prevent spills). CLEAN UP SPILLS IMMEDIATELY BY FLUSHING WITH PLENTY OF WATER



### 4• Fill the spray tank 12 to 

### % full of water. Agitate the water and continue agitation though mixing and spraying operations.
• Add Ethephon AG 6 to the tank followed by the remaining amount ofwater.
• Add any other tank mix partner products. Do not allow the spray solution to sit without agitation longerthan 5to 10 minutes. EQUIPMENT CLEANING: This product is very acidic and can damage acrylic plastics, certain paints, and metals after prolonged exposure. Therefore, ensure that any exposed acrylic plastic-type materials (e.g., aircraft windshields) are washed thoroughly with soap and water within 1 hour of exposure to the spray droplets. When the application is completed, all metal parts of the aircraft and other spray equipmentwhich were exposed to the spray solution should be washed thoroughly with soap and \',a',er
COTTON
Follow the application instructions in the tables below for use of Ethephon AG 6 on cotton alone cr in combination with other products.
RESTRICTIONS
• Do not harvest cotton until 7 days after an application of Ethephon AG 6, • Do not apply more than 2.0 Ibs. ethephon AI per acre per year. • Do not apply Ethephon AG 6 if rain is expected within 6 hours as product performance may be reduced.
• Rotation Crop Restrictions: Do not plant back another crop within 30 days after application. Ifsmall grains are planted earlier than 1 month after an Ethephon AG 6 application or are planted between the cotton plant rows which were treated with Ethephon AG 6, these crops can only be used as cover crops. Do not harvest the grain crops for food or feed. Small grain plants grown under these conditions may turn yellow and their growth may be stunted.
WHEN TO HARVEST COTTON Monitor the treated crop to determine when the optimum number of bolls are open before the cotton is harvested. Lint quality and yield may be reduced ifthe crop is harvested too late. Mature bolls are determined by squeezing the boll between thumb and finger: if the boll cannot be dented then it is mature. Other signs of boll maturity include when the boll is too hard to be sliced with a sharp knife, and when the seed coat has changed color to light brown.

RESTRICTIONS
• Do not apply Ethephon AG 6 if rain is expected within 6 hours as product performance may be reduced. Ifa major storm is expected, delay application of Ethephon AG 6.
• Use onlythe recommended addit"lves with Ethephon AG 6 which are mentioned on this label.
• Do not plant another crop within 30 days after Ethephon AG 6 application. • Do not exceed more than 2 Ibs. of ethephon AI per acre per year.
WHEN TO HARVEST TOBACCO Within 24 to 72 hours after the Ethephon AG 6 application, mature, sprayed leaves will begin to turn yellow, but the exact timing is dependent on the weather so that under cooler temperatures, yellowing will be delayed while under warm, sunny conditions, yenowing occurs faster. Monitorweather**conditi~,'S** ot;ld intensity of tobacco leaves color to determine timing of harvest. Usually within**~e** r.0Urs after the Ethephon AG 6 application, the leaves have reached the desired color intensity and C2n bz I,arvested.
To avoid reduced yields and quality, harvest the tobacco before it over-ripens in hlA. rield af::s.r J.n Ethephon AG 6 application.
APPLICATION TIMING For best results, apply Ethephon AG 6 to mature leaves. Treatment of immature leaves can I,;ad ;0 leaves that are not acceptable in color, quality or dryness. The correct timing for application c.an be tested by spraying a few plants in several different locations of the field. If the leaves begin to yellow within 24-72 hours, the leaves are mature. If some treated leaves do not change color within 72 hours, do not apply Ethephon AG 6 until another test is carried out to determine if the leaves are mature. To prepare a test spray solution, add 1 tsp. Ethephon AG 6 to 1qt. water. Apply about 1 oz ofthe test spray solution as a fine mistand thoroughly cover the leaves. Immature leaves won't change color.



### 7

### When the desired number of leaves per plant change in the test, the number ofacres to treat in order to fill the barn can be calculated.
Remove yellowed leaves before making an Ethephon AG 6 application as this will help yields and prevent leafdrop. Typical growing conditions wi)) require the lower rates specified in the table below. Ifthe higher rates are used, only apply iftemperatures are below

SPRAY DRIFT AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines 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 drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be poir:tcd downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicat'Jr should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift**!1.·3:l:J::.~ion Acivis{)r~**  

### Information. below.



### 2

### Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information [This section is advisory in nature and does notsupersede 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 ifapplications 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 h'lghest 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 higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow 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 larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid 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 largest plants 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 wi!! be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increasewith increasing drift potential (higherwind, smallerdrops, etc.). Wind: Drift potential is lowest between w'md 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. Tho:,' begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the moming. Their presence ('an 08

### species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing awayfrom the sensitive areas), USE PRECAUTIONS • Do not apply Ethephon AG 6 through any type of irrigation system. • Do not allow spray to driftto nearby crops as this product will affect plant growth resulting in injury or reduced yields. • Do not prepare more spray solution than can be used in one day. Clean out the spray tank after use and do notallowthe spray solution to remain in the sprayer overnight.


### 3DIRECTiONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law 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 handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or 

### Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Read the entire label before using this product. 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 forthe protection ofagricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers ofagricultural 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 of workers and restrictedMentry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this productthat are covered by theWorker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allowworker entry into treated areas during the restrictedMentry interval (REI) of48 hours. The REI is 72 hours in areaswhere 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 10ngMsleeved shirt and long pants • ChemicalMresistant gloves made ofany waterproof material, such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene, or barrier laminate. • ChemicalMresistant footwear plus socks • Protective eyewear (goggles, face shield or safety glasses) • ChemicalMresistant headgearfor overhead exposure Notifyworkers ofthe application by warning them orally and posting warning signs at entrances to treated areas. GENERAL INFORMATION Ethephon AG 6 is a plant growth regulatorwhich penetrates plant tissues and degrades to ethylene which affects the growth process of the plant. Ethephon AG 6 can be applied as foliar applications to cotton to accelerate bOil opening and improve defoliation. These features permit harvestto occur sooner and more efficiently, and may increase yields compared to untreated cotton fields. When Ethephon AG 6 is applied as foliar sprays to mature tobacco (flueMcured), the leaves uniformly turn yellow. This feature provides flexibility in scheduling harvest and also reduces curing time. MIXING DIRECTIONS Caution: Do not prepare more spray solution than required for one day's use. Do not allow the spray solution to stand overnight. Avoid spilling the concentrated product on any spray equipment or on airplane parts (a nurse tank is recommended to help prevent spills). CLEAN UP SPILLS IMMEDIATELY BY FLUSHING WITH PLENTY OF WATER.
• Fill the spray tank with 

### %: to 

### 'X full of water. Agitate the water and continue agit2t101" tllough mixing and spraying operations.
• Add Ethephon AG 6 to the tank followed by the remaining amount ofwater.
• Add any other tank mix partner products. Do not allow the spray solution to

### to 10 minutes. EQUIPMENT CLEANING: This product is very acidic and can damage acrylic plastics, certain paints, and metals after prolonged exposure. Therefore, ensure that any exposed acrylic plasticMtype rr.ate'ria's (e.g., aircraft windshields) are washed thoroughly with soap and water within 1 hour of exposure to 'the spray droplets. When the application is completed, all metal parts of the aircraft and other spray equipmentwhich were exposed to the spray solution should be washed thoroughly with soap and water.



### 4COTTON
Follow the application instructions in the tables below for use of Ethephon AG 6 on cotton alone or in combination with other products.
RESTRICTIONS
• Do not harvest cotton until 7 days afteran application of Ethephon AG 6.
• Do not apply more than 2.0 Ibs. ethephonAI per acre per year. • Do not apply Ethephon AG 6 if rain is expected within 6 hours as product performance may be reduced.
• Rotation Crop Restrictions: Do not plant back another crop within 30 days after application. Ifsmall grains are planted earlier than 1 month after an Ethephon AG 6 application or are planted between the cotton plant rows which were treated with Ethephon AG 6, these crops can only be used as cover crops. Do not harvest the grain crops for food or feed. Small grain plants grown under these conditions may turn yellow and their growth may be stunted.
WHEN TO HARVESTCOTTON Monitor the treated crop to determine when the optimum number of bolls are open before the cotton is harvested. Lint quality and yield may be reduced ifthe crop is harvested too late. Mature bolls are determined by squeezing the boll between thumb and finger: if the boll cannot be dented then it is mature. Othersigns of boll maturity include when the boll is too hard to be sliced with a sharp knife, and when the seed coat has changed color to light brown.

# - NR - Not recommended TOBACCO (Flue-Cured Only) Follow the application instructions in the tables below for use of Ethephon AG 6 on tobacco.
RESTRICTIONS
• Do not apply Ethephon AG 6 if rain is expected within 6 hours as product performance may be reduced. Ifa major storm is expected, delay application of Ethephon AG 6.
• Use only the recommended additives with Ethephon AG 6 which are mentioned on this label.
• Do not plant another crop within 30 days after Ethephon AG 6 application.
• Do not exceed more than 2 Ibs. ofethephon AI peracre per year.
WHEN TO HARVESTTOBACCO Within 24 to 72 hours after the Ethephon AG 6 application, mature, sprayed leaves will begin to turn yellow, but the exact timing is dependent on the weather so that under cooler temperatures, yellowing will be delayed while under warm, sunny conditions, yellowing occurs faster. Monitorweather conditions and intensity of tobacco leaves color to determine timing of harvest. Usually within 48 hours after the Ethephon AG 6 application, the leaves have reached the desired color intensity and can be harvested

.. To avoid reduced yields and quality, harvest the tobacco before it over-ripens "',n t\le"" field**afte~** an Ethephon AG 6 application.
APPLICATION TIMING For best results, apply Ethephon AG 6 to mature leaves. Treatment of immature lei·web can leau to leaves that are not acceptable in color, quality or dryness. The correct timing for application -::l31l**"0~** tested by spraying a few plants in several different locations of the field. If the leaves begin to yellow within 24-72 hours, the leaves are mature. If some treated leaves do not change color within 72 hburs, do not apply Ethephon AG 6 until another test is carried out to determine if the leaves are mature. To prepare a test spray solution, add 1 tsp. Ethephon AG 6 to 1 ql. water. Apply about 1 oz ofthe test spray solution as afine mist and thoroughly cover the leaves. Immature leaveswon't change color.
When the desired number of leaves per plant change in the test, the number of acres to treat in order to fill the bam can be calculated.
Remove yellowed leaves before making an Ethephon AG 6 application as this will help yields and prevent leaf drop. Typical growing conditions will require the lower rates specified in the table below. Ifthe higher rates are used, only apply jftemperatures are below 65 degrees F on the dayofapplication.



### 7CURING ETHEPHON AG 6 TREATED TOBACCO A numberoffactors must be considered when curing treated tobacco. These factors include, but are not 

### limited to tobacco condition, timing between application of Ethephon AG 6 and harvest, weather conditions, and type of curing. Best quality tobacco is obtained when the curing process is closely monitored during late leafcoloring and early leafdrying stages. Applications of Ethephon AG 6 to tobacco begins the coloring process before harvest, so the amount of time required in the coloring phase and drying phase may be reduced. Harvested green leaves will need 

### to be colored for a few hours. Harvested yellow leaves will 

### require adjustment of temperature and ventilation so the tobacco dries as quickly as possible without scalding. At the point of75% dried state, the leaves can be treated using normal procedures for curing. However, Ethephon AG 6-treated leaves cure faster, so cure treated and untreated leaves in separate barns. Crop Situation

Wash the outside ofgloves before removing. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present orto intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. SPRAY DRIFT AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. The interaction of many equipment-and-weatheHelated factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must befollowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations.

, Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information [fhis section is advisory in nature and does notsupersede 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 higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow 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 or"lentations 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 stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.

### 10 feet above the top of the largest plants 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 must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increasewith 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 lnversions: 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 tc**'~he**

# *- GENERAL INFORMATION Ethephon AG 6 is a plant growth regulatorwhich**penet~es** plant tissues and degrades to ethylene which affects the growth process of the plant. Ethephon AG S"can be applied as foliar applications to cotton to accelerate boll opening and improve defoliation. These features permit harvest to occur**sooner~d** more efficiently, and may increase yields compared to untreated cotton fields, When Ethephon AG 6 is applied as foliar sprays to mature tobacco (flue-cured), the leaves uniformly tum yellow. This feature provides flexibility in scheduling harvestand also reduces curing time.
MIXING DIRECTIONS caution: Do not prepare more spray solution than required for one day's use. Do not allow the spray solution to stand overnight. Avoid spilling the concentrated product on any spray equipmept**ci~** on airplane parts (a nurse tank is recommended to help prevent spills). CLEAN UP SP:LLS-if"..,MEDIAfELY BY FLUSHING WITH PLENTY OF WATER.
