Source: Wheat Management in Kentucky ID-125 page 7
Apply Palisade® EC plant growth regulator to winter wheat in stage Feekes 4-7
Apply 10.5-14.4 fl. oz./A of Palisade EC from Feekes stage 4 to Feekes stage 7 Apply before the flag leaf sheath extends. Use the lower rate when 1) varieties are more lodging tolerant, 2) application timing is earlier, and 3) when applying with a fungicide Use the higher rate when 1) varieties are prone to lodging, 2) application timing is later.
Specific Use Restrictions:
For best coverage and uptake, use a minimum of 10 gallons of water/A. Palisade EC may be applied until 45 days prior to harvest (45-day PHI). Do not apply more than 14.4 fl. oz. (0.11 lb. a.i.) Palisade EC/A/season. Do not apply if crop is stressed by drought, disease, or temperatures. BBN 01/31/2013
