For at least seven days following the application of Copper-contain-ing products in greenhouses:

•  at least one container or station designed specifically for flushing eyes is available in operating condition with the WPS-required decontamination supplies for workers entering the area treated with Copper-containing products,

•  workers are informed orally, in a manner they can understand:

–  that residues in the treated area may be highly irritating to their eyes,

–  that they should take precautions, such as refraining from rub-bing their eyes, to keep the residues out of their eyes,

Use Information

MEP 6X is a water-based foliar applied plant regulator that modifies the Cotton plant in several beneficial ways. It allows the grower to manage the Cotton plant for short-season production leading to reduced risk of yield and quality loss due to delayed and prolonged harvest. Additional benefits derived from the use of this product include:• Height reduction and more canopy• Increased early boll retention and/or larger bolls• Less boll rot• Improved defoliation• Reduced trash and lower ginning costs• Better harvest efficiency• Darker green leaf colorThese benefits can provide for earlier maturity and often result in improved yields.
