+General Information 
+This package contains BAS 500 ST seed treatment fungi­
+cide, a water-dispersible granule (EG). BAS 500 ST is a 
+broad-spectrum fungicide that provides preventive seed and 
+seedling protection against seed borne fungi causing seed 
+decay and the soilborne pathogen Rhizoctonia so/ani. 
+BAS 500 ST may be applied in conjunction with application 
+of other registered seed treatment products. Make all appli­
+cations according to the use directions in this label. Use the 
+higher rates of BAS 500 ST when disease pressure is 
+expected to be high. 
+Resistance Management 
+The active ingredient in BAS 500 ST, pyraclostrobin, 
+belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by the 
+EPA as Quinone Outside Inhibitors (Qol) or Target Site 
+, of Action Group 11 fungicides. Due to the minimal 
+amounts of BAS 500 ST applied to the seed that relocate to 
+the upper parts of the plant, the potential for development of 
+resistance is extremely low. Seed treatments of BAS 500 ST 
+can,therefore, be followed by foliar use and resistance man­
+agement guidelines of foliar use fungicides containing pyra­
+clostrobin (Cabrio® EG, Headline®, or Pristine® 
+fungicides) as specified on the respective labels. 
+Application Instructions 
+For use on "crop" seed at commercial treatment facilities. 
+Not for use on farm. 
+Apply BAS 500 ST as a water-based mixture using standard 
+slurry or mist-type seed treatment application equipment. 
+The exact amount of water needed to provide the mixture or 
+slurry rate (ml/100 kg or oz/cwt of seed) for optimum cover­
+age is difficult to predict because weather conditions (hot or 
+cold), seed type and surface, and equipment used all have a 
+bearing on coverage. Consult a seed treatment specialist 
+regarding slurry rates recommended for the crop seed to be 
+treated with BAS 500 ST. The required amount of 
+BAS 500 ST should then be diluted with the recommended 
+amount of water that will provide uniform and complete cov­
+erage on the seed surface. Uniform application on seed and 
+complete seed coverage are necessary for seed safety and 
+best disease protection, 
+Seed should be sound and well cleaned prior to treatment. 
+The purchaser of BAS 500 ST is responsible for ensuring 
+that all seeds treated with this product are adequately dyed 
+with a suitable color to prevent its accidental use as food for 
+man or feed for animals. Refer to 21 CFR, Part 2.25, Use an 
+EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural 
+color to the seed. Any dye or colorant added to treated seed 
+must be cleared for use under 40CFR, Part 180.900, 
+"Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance". 
+Federal regulations have established official tolerances or 
+exemptions from tolerances for residues on food and forage 
+crops that should not be exceeded when the product (dye 
+or colorant) is used at recommended rates. 
+3 
+Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibration and 
+operation procedures of the seed treatment equipment being 
+used. Mechanical agitation is required for proper mixing of 
+BAS 500 ST. Prepare no more mixture of BAS 500 ST than 
+is needed for immediate treating. Add % of the required vol­
+ume of water to the mix tank. With agitation running, add the 
+required amount of BAS 500 ST in the tank along with other 
+seed treatment components. Add the remaining 14 amount 
+of the required volume of water. Follow the mixing sequence 
+listed below. Agitate thoroughly before and during applica­
+tion. 
+BAS 500 ST With Tank Mix Partners 
+BAS 500 ST mixes easily with water and other water-based 
+seed treatments manufactured by BASF Corporation. When 
+using BAS 500 ST in a tank mixture with other seed treat­
+ment products, observe ali directions for use, crops/sites, 
+use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations that 
+appear on the tank mix partner label. DO NOT exceed label 
+dosage or application rate, and follow the most restrictive 
+label precautions and limitations. DO NOT mix BAS 500 ST 
+with any product that prohibits such mixing. Make all appli­
+cations according to the use directions. 
+When mixing BAS 500 ST seed treatment fungicide with 
+products from other manufacturers, test compatibility prior to 
+use by conducting a jar test as follows: 
+1. Mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriate 
+amount of water in a clear glass container. 
+2. Mix well and allow to sit for 1 hour. 
+3. Remix and observe for incompatibility. 
+Physical compatibility is only part of compatibility. Testing 
+also needs to be done with the seed to make sure the com­
+bination of products does not have detrimental effects on the 
+seed. . 
+Tank Mixing Instructions 
+1. Add % of the required amount of water to .the mix tank 
+and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is pre­
+ferred.
+
+2. Follow the mixing sequence: dye or colorant, wettable 
+powders, soluble powders, flowable formulations, emulsi­
+fiable concentrates, and remaining 14 of the required 
+. water. The 14 of the required water as the last item for 
+addition to the premix tank can be used as rinsate for the 
+chemical container or to adjust the total slurry, to compen­
+sate for water displacement by powdered products, 
+3. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been 
+used. 
+4. Ensure that seed is dry prior to bagging, 
+NOTE: Federal law requires that bags of treated seeds shall 
+be labeled with the following: "This seed has been treated 
+with pyraclostrobin fungicide. DO NOT use for food, feed or 
+oil purposes. Store away from food and feedstuffs. Use with 
+an EPA-approved dye that imparts an unnatural color to the 
+seed."
