SHORT-STAPLE AND LONG STAPLE (PIMA) COTTON
I. HIGH RATE SINGLE OR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS:
Use these instructions when you are not able to start growth regulation treatments early, or when you want to make the fewest number of applications.
AREA: AL, AR, AZ, CA, FL, GA, LA, MO, MS, NM, NC, SC, TN, VA TIME OF APPLICATION RATE PER ACRE FIRST APPLICATION: Apply when cotton is actively growing and is between 20" and 30" tall, but not more than 7 days beyond early bloom (5–6 blooms per 25 row feet). Also apply if cotton is 24" tall and has no blooms. Use the 11/3 fl. oz. rate on cotton where excessive vegetative growth is not expected and use 22/3 fl. oz. where excessive vegetative growth has historically occurred. See Restrictions and Limitations on the label. 1 1/3 to 2 2/3 fl. oz. SECOND APPLICATION: Make a subsequent application in 2 to 3 weeks if additional growth is desired. 1 1/3 to 2 2/3 fl. oz. THIRD APPLICATION FOR CONTROL OF EXCESSIVE VEGETATIVE GROWTH: If the cotton field has a history of vigorous growth or if conditions continue to favor vigorous growth, apply a third application 1 to 2 weeks after the second application. 1 1/3 to 2 2/3 fl. oz. LATE SEASON APPLICATION: See section titled "Late Season Application of MepStar 6X®" on the label. 1 1/3 to 4.2 fl. oz. Areas without a history of excessive vegetative growth:
AREA: KS, OK, TX (except Rio Grande Valley) TIME OF APPLICATION RATE PER ACRE FIRST APPLICATION: Apply when cotton is in the early bloom stage (5-6 blooms per 25 row feet) and actively growing. Also apply if no blooms are present and the cotton is 20" tall and actively growing. See Restrictions and Limitations on the label. 1 1/3 fl. oz. SECOND APPLICATION: Make a second application in 2 to 3 weeks, 3 to 4 weeks if additional growth control is desired. 1 1/3 fl. oz. THIRD APPLICATION: If conditions after the second application of MepStar 6X® continue to favor vigorous growth, apply a third application 1 to 2 weeks after the second application. 1 1/3 fl. oz. LATE SEASON APPLICATION: See section titled "Late Season Application of MepStar 6X®" on the label. 1 1/3 to 4.2 fl. oz. Areas with a history of excessive vegetative growth:
AREA: KS, OK, TX TIME OF APPLICATION RATE PER ACRE For best results, apply when plants are in early bloom stage (5-6 blooms per 25 row feet) and an average of 24" tall. Treatments can also be made when cotton height averages a minimum of 20" and a maximum of 30" provided cotton is not more than 7 days beyond early bloom. If cotton is 24" tall and has no blooms, apply MepStar 6X®. See Restrictions and Limitations on the label. 2 1/3 fl. oz. SECOND APPLICATION: For fields with a history of excessive growth, or if conditions after the first application favor excessive growth, make a second application in 2 to 3 weeks. 1 1/3 to 2 2/3 fl. oz THIRD APPLICATION: If conditions after the second application of MepStar 6X® continue to favor vigorous growth, apply a third application 1 to 2 weeks after the second application. 1 1/3 to 2 2/3 fl. oz LATE SEASON APPLICATION: See section titled "Late Season Application of MepStar 6X®" on the label. 1 1/3 to 4.2 fl. oz. II. LOW RATE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS:
Use these instructions when you want to maintain maximum flexibility in plant regulation treatments.
AREA: KS, OK, TX TIME OF APPLICATION EXCESSIVE Growth Not Expected or Lower Rates Have Worked in the Past EXCESSIVE Growth Expected or Higher Rates Have been Necessary in the Past FIRST APPLICATION: Apply at the matchhead square1 stage of growth. 1/3 fl. oz. 2/3 fl. oz. SECOND APPLICATION: 7–14 days later, or when regrowth occurs. 1/3 fl. oz. 2/3 fl. oz. THIRD APPLICATION: 7–14 days later, or when regrowth occurs. 1/3 to 2/3 fl. oz.* 2/3 to 1 1/3 fl. oz. FOURTH APPLICATION: 7–14 days later, or when regrowth occurs. 1/3 to 1 1/3 fl. oz.* 2/3 to 2 fl. oz.* FIFTH APPLICATION: (If needed) 7–14 days later, or when regrowth occurs. 2/3 to 1 1/3 fl. oz.* 2/3 to 2 fl. oz.* LATE SEASON APPLICATION: See section titled “Late Season Application of MepStar6X®” on the label 1 1/3 to 2 2/3 fl. oz.* 2 to 4.2 fl. oz.* *Use the higher rate if previous application was not made or if growing conditions favor excessive growth.
1 Matchhead square is when the first square of a typical cotton plant is about the size of a matchhead (about 1/8–1/4" in diameter). Make the first application when 50% of the plants have one or more matchhead squares.
