5.0 GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use only as directed. Read the label thoroughly and make
sure it is understood before making applications. Keep out
of reach of children.
Application Instructions:
• RyzUp SmartGrassTM water soluble granule contains
gibberellic acid which is an extremely potent plant
growth regulator; when applying plant growth regulators,
deviations from the label directions in the rates, timings,
water volumes, or the adoption of untested spray mixes,
results in undesirable effects. Always consult the local
Valent representative in your area for the spray regi-
men best suited to your conditions.
• Do not apply to plants under pest, nutritional, or water
stress.
•When a range of rates is indicated, use the concentration
and spray volume indicated locally by the local Valent
representative.
• For optimum effectiveness, thorough spray coverage
of the target area must be achieved. Prepare solution
concentrations by mixing the required amount of product
with water in a clean, empty spray tank. Discard any
unused spray material at the end of each day following
local, state or federal law.
• For most efficacious results, the water pH is best at 7.0,
and always below 8.5.
• Applications made under slow drying conditions (cool
to warm temperatures, medium to high relative humid-
ity, and no wind) will increase absorption of the active
ingredient by the plant, thus optimizing effectiveness.
Night-time applications are encouraged when day-time
conditions are not conducive to slow drying conditions.
• Product persistence: Re-apply if significant rain occurs
within 2 hours of application.
• Compatibility: When considering tank mixing with other
products, use the following compatibility jar test before
mixing a whole tank.
Start with a clear glass or plastic quart jar. Add water
from the same water source that will be used for the
larger tank mix. Add the pesticides in correct proportions.
Mix thoroughly and let stand for a minimum 15 minutes.
Heat, separation, gelling, are all signs of incompatibility.
Before using any mixes that pass the jar tests for
compatibility, it is imperative to test the mixture on a
designated area as it may result either in phytotoxicity
or ineffectiveness. For further information, consult your
local Valent representative.
• For aerial applications spray volumes must be greater
than 2 gallons per acre.
• No preharvest interval is required for this product.
6.0 STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or
disposal.
Pesticide Storage: Keep containers tightly closed when
not in use.
Pesticide Disposal: Wastes resulting from the use of this
product must be disposed of on site or at an approved
waste disposal facility.
Container Disposal: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse
or refill this container. Triple rinse (or equivalent) promptly
after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty remaining
contents into application equipment or mix tank. Fill container
1/4 full with water and recap. Shake 10 seconds. Pour rinsate
into application equipment or mix tank or store rinsate for
later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after flow begins
to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer
for recycling or dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration,
if allowed by state and local authorities by burning. If
burned, stay out of smoke.
7.0 SPRAY GUIDELINES
Apply
RyzUp SmartGrass
in sprays of sufficient water vol-
umes to ensure thorough wetting. Foliage of treated plants
occasionally and temporarily appears lighter green in color
due to accelerated growth rates following application.
Application to plants of low vigor or under stress (pest,
nutritional, or water, etc.) causes severe leaf yellowing,
poor performance and/or undesirable effects. Tank-mixing
with surfactants, fertilizers, and/or other pesticides should
not be done unless compatibility and phytotoxicity testing
is done first using appropriate methods.
