This spray timing produces the firmest rind possible. Apply one spray two ,."ed(s

prior to color break which normally occurs August to November. Apply 10 to 40 grams a.i. per acre as B conccntrate or dilute spray in suflicicnt gallonage to insure thorough wetting.

NOTE: Do not apply to groves that may be harvested early as a reduction in grade may result due to the del.yed coloring. Do not apply in white wash sprays in w:.ich lime or other caustic material has produced a high pH in the spray tank.

LATE SPRAY (After color break): Apply one spray just after maIketable color has dcveloped whicb is nOImally from ,October through Deccmber. Apply 16 to 48 g.cuns a.i. per acre as a concentrate or dilute spray in sufficient gallonage to insure thorough wetting.

NOTE: Do not spray Navel orange trees from January through July. Sprays applied in January/Februarymay cause reduced production the following year. Do not apply williin 10 days ofharvesL

NOTE: Slower color development should be expected in the target crop. Increased regreening of mature fruit, if present may.occur. After marketable color :s achieved. treatment effects may be reduced the longer treated fruit remain on the tree.

SPRAY GUIDELINES FOR FRUIT CROPS

:BLUEBERRIES

For improving[ruit seI. For set problems due to insufficient. natural honeybee pollination on varieties such as CQ\'iile, Jersey. Stanley. £arliebJue. Weymouth and olhers: Make a single foliage spray application at full bloom (when <Y'lCf 75% of all Oowers are fully open). For W,,},nouth, application can be delayed up to two weeks after full bloom to aITect sizing o[ shot h<rries. Use 80 grams aj. in 100 gallons of water. Use of a spreader-sticker is recommended. Apply to the point of run-olT, thoroughly wetting all parts of the plant. Total gallonage will depend on size and density of the plants.

NOTE: Do not exceed 300 gallons/A. Although "'me varieties bloom closer to ham:st than others, in no case should application be made closer than 40 days before harvest. Do not .. pply to plants in a low slate o[vigor.

NOTE: Lowes.t rates of GibGro should be used on trees that have been hea\'ily pruned or hedged. The use of additional wetting or spn~adin& agents is not recorrunended.

GibGro will not improve growth of trecs under stress (nutritional. moisture, winter injury) or other factors inhibiting normal growth Md development resulting from physical damage or unsound orchard practices. Best results from GibGro will be obtained when combined with good cultUI.al practices.

NOTE: Do not exceed spccffied rates. Do not apply repeated sprays. Accelerated flowering is infiucnced-by- e:-'1ended photopcriod~ adeq,uate .. nutrition and reduced night temperature. Treatment with gibbcrellins lessens the requirement for the cold requirement and/or the long. photoperiod.

RICE POST-EMERGENCE SEEDLING TREATIIIENT

~~1l States E>.:cept California) For use as a post-emergence seedling ~pplicaCion on rice grown in the United Slales to promote more unifom, and vigorous growch pdor (0 pemJanentjlooding. Early season foliar applications of GibGro will promote vigorous and more uniform seedling gmwth of rice prior to permanent flood establishment. This will allow earlier (5 to 10 days) flooding of drill or dry broadcast seeded varieties and is particularly effective on 5emi~dwarf varieties. Early flooding may ri:duce additional flushing costs associated with a delay in pennanent nooding~ ,veed infestations and the number of herbicide appli~Ltions as well as promote earlier and more uniform grain maturity. GibGro application may result in a temporary licllter green foliage color due to accelerated growth ralcs. . . ~ .

Avoid drift or accidental application to other crops. Do not apply when rice is subject 10 drought stress conditions. GibGro can be tankmi.'ied with most commonJy used rice herbicides and fungicides. When GibGro is applied in tank mixes with Arrosolo. Riverside Propani! 60DF ~ Starn M4 combined VJith labeled herbicides. StJJn 80EDF or Wham EZ. pius a recommended adjuvant. the usc of a su.rfactant is not necessary. Do Dot apply with Whip.

G~bGro applied betwcc:l split~boot and 100% heading can incrca~e pJIticlc height of scmi-dwarf rice:. This may facilit.:l.lc barvest efficiency in the field by allowing the rice grain to be cut above the leaf canopy at faster combine speeds and at reduced vegetative load. Grain quality and maturity can be advanced with the promotion of tiller panicle development.. Heading applications to the fllS! qop c~ ~lso accelerate. reg,rQ\~'Ut of second crop rice. This can result in earlier second crop maturity and maximize grain yield.

, SEEDIJNG APPLICATIONS GibGro may be applied at a rate of 1 to 3 grams aj. pcr acre to rice between the I to 2 leaf stage and the 4 to 5 leaf stage of growth.
