NOTE TO USER: Unintentional consequences such as crop injury may result due to environmental or growing conditions, manner of use, or application. Because plant tolerance of pesticides varies as conditions vary, treat a few plants under conditions expected to be encountered and observe for plant damage prior to full-scale application to a large number of plants.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: APPLICATION RATES: Tidal Grow® Spectra can be used as a foliar spray, soil drench, root dip, in-furrow or can be applied via chemigation methods (such as center pivot, drip/trickle, sprinkler, etc). Tidal Grow® Spectra can be applied to crops at any time during the growing season including preplant, preemergence, post emergence, and in-season, up to and including the day of harvest. The recommended concentration and rate of application depends on crop and severity of the pest or disease. Test results have shown that this product can increasingly suppress pests and pathogens at high and vigor at lower doses. For best results apply the product early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Tidal Grow® Spectra is compatible with most chemical fungicides, below 7 for best results; perform a compatibility jar test prior to mixing with other chemicals - especially for concentrated aerial applications. Combining Spectra with anionic polymers tends to cause clumping, gelling, or settling. Example: Spectra is incompatible with ammonium polyphosphate fertilizers (10-34-0 and 11-37-0). Contact your sales rep for more information on compatibility. For best results, store out of direct sunlight at room temperature.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Not for aquatic use. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash waters.
IMPORTANT: Additional Operating Instructions for Chemigation for Washington State. Review your state and local regulatory requirements before applying any agricultural chemical through an irrigation system.
