RED or WHITE POTATOES:
Dip potato seed pieces in a solution 1 part ACCELE-GROW to 350 parts water (0.40 fluid ounces per gallon) for 1 minute or spray the seed pieces until thoroughly covered and wetted. ACCELE-GROW can be used with a fungicide program.
SWEET POTATOES and YAMS:
Dip potato slips in a solution of 1 part ACCELE-GROW to350 parts water (0.40 fluid ounces per gallon of water) for 60 seconds. ACCELE-GROW can be used with a fungicide program.
MECHANICAL SEED TREATERS
Apply the appropriate amount of ACCELE-GROW to a pre-measured amount of seed and mix thoroughly until all seeds are uniformly coated. Seed may be treated in this manner and stored until used for planting. Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil purposes. An approved dye must be added to distinguish ACCELE-GROW treated seed and prevent inadvertent use for food, feed or oil purposes. Seed treated with this product must be labeled according to all applicable requirements of the Federal and State seed laws. DO NOT USE TREATED SEED FOR FOOD, FEED OR OIL PURPOSES.
BROADCAST SEED APPLICATION
Partially fill broadcast spreader with a pre-measured amount of seed. Apply the appropriate amount of ACCELE-GROW diluted with water on the surface of the seed. Mix with a stick or paddle until all the seeds are coated. Repeat procedure until broadcast spreader is full. DO NOT USE SEED FOR FOOD, FEED OR OIL PURPOSES. Treat only the amount of seed needed for immediate use and planting. Do not store seed beyond planting season.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR ALL TRANSPLANTED CROPS
Two programs are recommended for this program.
- Dip or spray roots in a solution of 1 ounce ACCELE-GRO per gallon of water prior to transplanting.
- Bedding seedlings may be sprayed or drenched in flats 12 to 24 hours before transplanting to reduce shock with a solution of 1 ounce ACCELE-GROW per gallon of water.
The foliar program should begin two weeks after transplanting. A combination of the transplant and foliar spray program is most effective.

FOLIAR SPRAY PROGRAM FOR RICE
ACCELE-GROW should be applied at 4 ounces per acre as a foliar spray to the plant during either one of the following stages of development.
PRIMARY RECOMENDATIONS – 3 to 7 LEAF STAGE: This application must be made after the rice seedling has 3 fully emerged leaves and the forth leaf is beginning to emerge but before the seedling has completed development of 7 leaves or 3 tillers. This period for application generally begins 3 to 6 weeks after seeding and ends 5 to 9 weeks after seeding. The duration of this period depends on the variety and the growing conditions. This application may be made in conjunction with corresponding herbicide application.
ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION – TWO MILLIMETER (mm) PANICLE GROWTH STAGE: If the primary application is missed, ACCELE-GROW can be applied to stimulate cell differentiation in the developing panicle. This application must be made when no more than 10% of the main culms are at the 2mm panicle growth stage. The 2mm panicle growth stage occurs immediately after internode elongation or joint movement has begun. ACCELE-GROW must applied as soon as internode elongation is detected so the 2mm panicle growth stage is not missed. It is better to apply slightly early than to apply late. IMPORTANT: timing of the application at 2mm growth stage is critical. Check the entire field for stage of plant development.
Large fields may require split applications on upper and lower ends of the field to ensure proper timing throughout the field.
HAY and PASTURE
HAY: After first greening and fertilizer spray 6 oz per acre; continue with 6 oz per acre after each cutting. You may mix Accele-Grow-M with liquid fertilizer.
PASTURE:
If you are unable to rotate your cattle on a regular grazing cycle you may use schedule A:
Schedule A :
Spray 4 oz per acre at sight of first greening and after fertilizing. Apply second and any additional applications 90 days apart at the rate of 4 to 6 oz per acre.
OR
Best Practices application schedule for pasture:
Spray 6 oz per acre at sight of first greening and after fertilizing. Apply second and third application 28 days apart with 6 oz per acre. The total application should total 18 oz per acre over an 84 day period. (per grazing session)
Winter Grazing: Apply 6 oz per acre two weeks after emergence. Apply second application of 6 oz per acre when spring growth begins after vernilization.
TURFGRASS
On all turfgrass regardless of type, use no more than 6 fluid ounces per 1000 square feet per month should be used.
WARM SEASON TURF: (Bermuda, Bermuda hybrids, Zoysia, Centipede, St. Augustine, etc.)
For lower traffic areas and where ACCELE-GROW is used as a maintenance program, begin applications early in the growing season. Apply at the rate of 1 to 2 fluid ounces per 1000 square feet. Maintenance application should be made on a two to three week schedule throughout the growing season. Application may be made with foliarly-applied urea for added benefits.
COOL SEASON TURF: (Tall Fescue, Rye, Bentgrass, Bluegrass, etc.). Apply 1.5 to 2 ounces per 1000 square feet in fall, or when stand is established. Repeat application in late winter when grasses begin to grow actively.
APPLICATION WITH FOLIARLY-APPLIED UREA: Maximum benefit and color can be achieved when ACCELE-GRO applications are made with foliarly-applied urea solutions. To prepare urea solution, dissolve 46% urea into spray solution at the rate of 1.0 lb. per 5000 square feet to be sprayed and apply with recommended rate of ACCELE-GROW.
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION
TEES AND GREENS: Apply 1 to 2 ounces per 1000 square feet on a 2 week schedule throughout the growing season. Begin in early spring after grasses have begun to grow.
Sunbelt and transition zones should continue spray program throughout playing season. Courses north of the transition zone should continue applications thru September.
FAIRWAYS: Begin applications in early spring as soon as grasses have began to actively grow. Apply 1 ounce per 1000 square feet and repeat on a monthly schedule as long as grass is growing.
PRE TOURNAMENT QUICK GREEN UP: Apply at the rate of 1 to 2 ounces per 1000 square feet in conjunction with urea solution 4 to 5 days before tournament. Make application with a minimum spray volume of 0.50 gallon of water per 1000 square feet.
The SPRING DORMANCY BREAK: Apply 1 fluid ounce per 1000 square feet in spring as soon as new growth (opening) is visible. Raking of thatch prior to making this application is most desirable. Application at this time generates rapid growth and often can reduce incidence of “spring die back” on certain species of grass.
FALL APPLICATION FOR WINTER HARDINESS: Make 2 applications 7-10 days apart in late summer or early fall just prior to cessation of normal active growth. Apply 1 to 2 ounces per1000 square feet. Make application with a spray volume of 0.50 gallon of water per 1000 square feet. Applications at this time will greatly increase root mass and depth of roots. Winter kill problems are often greatly reduced.
COMMERCIAL TURF, CEMETERIES, ATHLETIC FIELDS, GOLF COURSES, and OTHER FINE TURF: Applications of 1 to 2 ounces per 1000 square feet made at any point during the growing season will produce desirable results. Make applications during the very early growth stages and continue on a monthly schedule throughout the growing season. Healthier and more beautiful turf can be realized in high traffic areas such as greens and tees by making regular applications every two weeks.
SOD FARMS: Apply 4 to 8 fluid ounces per acre on a monthly basis during growing season. Two weeks prior to cutting sod apply 4 to 8 ounces per acre.
SPECIFIC RATES OF APPLICATION: After sod is cut, a re-establishment program is necessary. This program should start as soon as there is any greening over 30% of the area.
Spray with 4 to 8 ounces per acre of ACCELE-GROW. Repeat in two weeks, and thereafter, once per month throughout the growing season. Make a final application of 4 to 8 ounces per acre two weeks before dormancy.
Start the program again as soon as some green-up has started in the spring.
When species started from seed have reached 1 inch of height, the monthly treatment may be started and followed in the same way as non-seeded varieties.
