Crops: Cotton is specifically listed on the manufacturer's label. Do not assume the product is approved for other crops unless they are listed on the current label.
4. Dosage and application
A secondary agricultural product database lists the following information for CANNON. Verify it against the bottle's current approved label before use.

The exact product quantity and water volume must be matched to the crop, pest, application method and current label. I would not recommend a dose for a different crop based on this information alone.
