Does anyone know the particular set of circumstances that result

	I have safely used one or two applications at 4 ounces per 100  
gallons on
Empire a couple of years, but, having heard of possible cracking,  
I have not
used the 3rd or 4th sprays that would be needed for good  
vegetative control of

my trees on MM106.
