RESULTS OF PRESTIGE The art of growing a more valuable grape. Not only does Prestige increase berry weight and size, it also results in a stronger, thicker berry to improve quality.

Tank mix Prestige only with ProGibb. Do not combine with other pesticides. pply Prestige at the timings specified for each cultivar. Too early = increased fruit set; too late = stronger effect on fruit maturity and harvest delay. Use the normal ProGibb rate with Prestige. Prestige does not compensate for a reduced rate of ProGibb. Harvest Prestige-treated vineyards at the proper stage of maturity. Harvesting too early = reduced fruit quality. pply Prestige only to healthy vines in good nutritional standing and free of diseases and pests. Only vines able to carry a normal load of fruit will benefit from Prestige. Vines should carry only a reasonable number of clusters for their size and vigor. ecause Prestige increases berry size, thinning must be adequate to allow enough space for berries to grow, which means more space than when sizing with ProGibb alone. Prestige is a 25% active ingredient formulation. Each 32 fl. oz. bottle of Prestige contains 8 grams of active ingredient. Read and follow the label instructions before using. 4 5

Contact your local Valent representative for more information. In Fantasy Seedless, applying Prestige at bloom time will increase berry set, solving a major problem in this variety. Prestige can also be used for sizing and quality benefits. In Flame Seedless, Prestige increases berry size and improves quality. However, be cautioned that in some areas, Prestige may have a very significant impact on color development, particularly at medium and high rates. ll treatments included a standard ProGibb sizing program. 14 15
