APPLICATION RATES AND TIMING
AL, AR, AZ, CA, FL, GA, LA, MO, MS, NM, NC, SC, TN, VA TIME OF APPLICATION RATE PER ACRE FIRST APPLICATION: Apply MepStar® to actively growing cotton that is 20–30” tall, provided cotton is not more than 7 days beyond early bloom stage (5–6 blooms per 25 row feet). If cotton is 24” tall and has no blooms, apply MepStar®. Where excessive vegetative growth is not likely to be a problem, use 8–16 fluid ounces per acre. Use 16 fluid ounces per acre in areas tending to have excessive vegetative growth. 8-16 fluid ounces SECOND APPLICATION FOR CONTROL OF EXCESSIVE VEGETATIVE GROWTH: Make a second application 2-3 weeks after the first application if the cotton field has a history of vigorous growth or if conditions after the first application of Mep Star™ favor vigorous growth. 8-16 fluid ounces THIRD APPLICATION FOR CONTROL OF EXCESSIVE VEGETATIVE GROWTH: Make a third application 1–2 weeks after the first application if the cotton field has a history of vigorous growth or if conditions continue to favor vigorous growth. 8-16 fluid ounces LATE SEASON APPLICATION: Refer to the Late Season Application section of the product label. 8-24 fluid ounces OK, TX (except Rio Grande Valley) TIME OF APPLICATION RATE PER ACRE Areas where excessive vegetative growth is not a problem FIRST APPLICATION: Apply MepStar® in the early bloom stage (5–6 blooms per 25 row feet) to actively growing cotton. Apply MepStar® if no blooms are present and the cotton is 20” tall and actively growing. 8 fluid ounces SECOND APPLICATION: Make a second application 2–3 weeks after the first application if conditions after the first application favor vigorous growth. 8 fluid ounces THIRD APPLICATION: Make some third application 1–2 weeks after the second application if conditions after the second application continue to favor vigorous growth. 8 fluid ounces LATE SEASON APPLICATION: Refer to the Late Season Application section of the product label. 8-24 fluid ounces OK, TX (including Rio Grande Valley) TIME OF APPLICATION RATE PER ACRE Areas where excessive vegetative growth is not a problem FIRST APPLICATION: Apply MepStar® to actively growing cotton that is 20–30” tall, provided cotton is not more than 7 days beyond early bloom stage (5–6 blooms per 25 row feet). If cotton is 24” tall and has no blooms, apply Mep Star® 16 fluid ounces SECOND APPLICATION FOR CONTROL OF EXCESSIVE VEGETATIVE GROWTH: Make a second application 2–3 weeks after the first application if cotton field has a history of vigorous growth, or conditions after the first application favor vigorous growth. 8-16 fluid ounces THIRD APPLICATION: Make a third application 1–2 weeks after the second application if conditions after the second application continue to favor vigorous growth. 8-16 fluid ounces LATE SEASON APPLICATION: Refer to the Late Season Application section of the product label. 8-24 fluid ounces - Directions for use
