Application Procedures
PIX®PLUS® provides a flexible range of low-rate multiple applications or higher less frequent dosages. The rate and timing ranges allows for tailoring the use of PIX PLUS to the degree of vegetative vigor in a given field.
Early season use provides the greatest benefit from the use of PIX PLUS. Late application of PIX PLUS can provide certain benefits to cotton, however, it does not substitute for early season use.
PIX PLUS should not be applied if plants are under severe stress from weather factors, insects or diseases, herbicide injury or fertility stress. If plants are healthy, without any of these stresses, up to five low-rate multiple applications can be made each season.
Refer to the PIX PLUS label for complete application rates and timing.
