- Directions For Use
- It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.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.
- 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 for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural 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), and restricted entry intervals (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
- Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval of 4 hours unless wearing appropriate PPE.
- PPE requirement 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 or water, is:
- Coveralls
- Waterproof gloves
- Shoes plus socks
- Application Directions
SHAKE BEFORE USING
- Apply BLUSH® in a sufficient amount of water to ensure thorough coverage of the tree canopy. Use properly calibrated spray equipment to ensure uniform coverage of fruit and foliage. Adjust water volumes based on plant size and spacing.
- Make 1-2 applications of 26-52 fluid ounces per acre per year at 7-14 day intervals, 7-42 days prior to anticipated harvest (see BLUSH® Dilution Guide). The effectiveness of BLUSH® depends on crop variety and environmental conditions, e.g., temperature, light exposure, etc. BLUSH® enhances the red color on apple varieties that have difficulty developing color. Under conditions where red color development is acceptable (e.g., cultivars or strains that develop good red color, orchards that typically produce apples with sufficient red color development, environmental conditions in which red color development is satisfactory), use of BLUSH® may not result in significant additional red color.
- Best results will be achieved by avoiding applications during the hottest part of the day. To maximize effectiveness, apply BLUSH® under slow-drying conditions, e.g., early morning or night. Do not apply BLUSH® to trees that are injured or under stress (e.g., heat, water, disease, nutrient, etc.).

- PESTICIDE STORAGE: Avoid freezing. Store in original container only. In case of leak or spill, use absorbent materials to contain liquids and dispose of as waste.
- PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility
- CONTAINER HANDLING: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse this container to hold materials other than pesticides or dilute pesticides (rinsate). After emptying and cleaning, it may be allowable to temporarily hold rinsate or other pesticide-related materials in the container. Contact your state regulatory agency to determine allowable practices in your state. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
