Application recommendations:

CHOLINE 20% SP contains CHOLINE, which is a potent plant growth regulator. When applying a plant growth regulators, follow the recommended label directions for rates, timings, and water volumes. Do not apply untested spray mixes.
 Do not apply to plants under pest, nutritional, or water stress.
 Effectiveness requires that all parts of plant or crop receive thorough spray coverage or desired result will not occur. Prepare solution concentrations by mixing the required amount of product with water in a clean, empty spray tank. Dispose of any unused spray material at the end of each day following local, state or federal law.
 For best results, use water with a neutral pH and always below 8.5.
 CHOLINE 20% SP applications made under slow drying conditions (cool to warm temperatures, medium to high relative humidity, and no wind) will increase absorption by the plant, thus optimizing effectiveness. Night-time applications arc encouraged when day-time conditions are not conducive to slow drying conditions.
 Product persistence: CHOLINE 20% SP should be re-applied if significant rain occurs within 2 hours of application.
 No pre-harvest interval is required for this product.
 Compatibility: The CHOLINE 20% SP spray guidelines refer to the use of the product alone. The use of surfactants and other additives has been reported to be beneficial. Plant Synergists, Inc. does not assume responsibility for unexpected results due to the tank mixing of CHOLINE 20% SP with other products.
