GENERAL INFORMATION
OROBOOST® is a spreader, penetrant and wetting aid to enhance distribution and efcacy of miticides, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, nutrients, and plant growth regulators. OROBOOST is a WSDA-registered material for use in organic agriculture when combined with other organic pesticides.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Prior to use, read all the directions on this label and on the label of the manufacturers’ insecticides, miticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, dormant oils and/or nutrients being used with this product. The manufacturers’ label for specic usage and restrictions has precedence over directions for use referred to on the OROBOOST label. To ensure thorough mixing, it is suggested that you recirculate mini tanks and bulk tanks or shake containers before using. Ensure spray equipment is thoroughly cleaned before using OROBOOST. Coatings on inner tank and spray lines, from previous chemicals sprayed, may be dissolved by OROBOOST, thereby releasing it into the mix about to be sprayed. If in doubt, applying as directed, add 20 ounces of OROBOOST to 20 gallons of water circulate through system for 20 minutes, spray to waste. Thereafter, mix as prescribed for regular spraying. Treat a small area and observe results. If the results are satisfactory, proceed with a complete application.
PRECAUTIONS
The fruit of some varieties of pears, cherries, table grapes and grapefruits may be sensitive to marking. Contact your Oro Agri representative before use. Do not apply to crops under stress. Test for compatibility when combining in tank mixes with EC products, copper and/or chlorpyrifos on sensitive crops. NOTE: OROBOOST reduces dew formation for up to 7 days and therefore may increase the risk of frost damage in frost prone areas.
NOTE: NOT FOR AQUATIC USE.
MIXING
Fill tank one-half full with water. Add the required amount of other tank mix products while agitating. Add remainder of the water. Add the recommended amount of OROBOOST last and continue agitation until completion of spraying. For best results, use within 24 hours of mixing. Antifoam and buffering agents may be used if required.
