WHEN SPRAYING, HOLD CAN 18-20 INCHES FROM PLANT. For best results, spray in the evening or on a cloudy day when air is still. Lightly mist the plants, using a slow sweeping motion. Avoid wetting foliage with spray. Spray rows at a rate of 1 foot per second. For heavy growth, spray both sides of row. Do not spray when temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
