JUNE 27, 1963. rtMlMrtWm Farmers Urged Use Mil-30 Properly MH-30 (maleic hydraiide K% active) is a growth regulator that is absorbed by the tobacco leaf and awes through the plant to the areas of new cell development. MH SO Inhibits cell division and thus subqbent sucker growth. There appears to bo little, if any, affect on ceil enlargement, so most tip leav es continue to grow as will partial ly developed suckers. When MH-30 is used, it should be used discretely. Generally for best results, considering all character istics studied, the following instruc tions should be followed carefully. 1.

Correct time to apply MH-30 Treatment 1. When most of the plants have begun to shed thsir first flowers, full to late flower stage, top down to a good size leaf, clean out any existing suckers and treat. OR Treatment 3. Spray MH-30 when plants are in full flower and then within 3 or 4 days top and sucker all plants. OR Treatment 3.

Often lack of suck er control is evident when MH-30 is applied to plants that are under stress kit moisture. It is very important for best re sults that tops and all suckered be removed Just before or soon after MH-JO is applied. B. Use proper equipment and use MH-30 can be applied with any type sprayer that will uniformly spray 20 to SO gallons of liquid per acre. This includes small hand sprayers, mule drawn sprayers, tra ctor-drawn and tractor-mounted sprayers. Use fine, mist-type noz zles such as the cone type. Do not use the broad-Jet type spray nozzle that sprays several rows at one time. Be sure material is throughly mix ed and adequate pressure is built up before entering the field. C. Use recommended rate. Use 4 to 6 pints of MH per acre in 20-50 gallons of water. Throughly mix and apply in a fine spray cov ering as much of the plant as possi ble. This rate may be divided and applied in two separate applications with S to 4 days between aplica tions. D. Harvest Only Ripe Tobacco MH-30 treated tobacco usually does not ripen as rapidly as not topped or topped and poorly suck ered tobacco. This fact should be remembered and closely watched. The normal ripening process is re tarded on plants treated with MH 30. Also, deterioration of leaves due to adverse weaker condtions is often markedly less. iFully mature, well ripened and properly cured to bacco normally possesses the most desirable physical and chemical levels.
