nurseries, or greenhouses. 
Keep unprotected persons out of the treated areas until sprays have dried. 
KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide contains bacteria which colonize the developing root system, suppressing disease organisms 
such as Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Alternaria and Aspergillus that attack root systems. When used with a chemical seed treatment, the 
combination of chemicals and KODIAK Flowable provides protection to the root for a much longer time than with chemicals alone. As 
the root system develops, the bacteria grow with the roots extending the protection throughout the growing season: As a result of this 
biological protection, a vigorous root system is established by the plant, which often results in more uniform stands and greater yields. 
In addition, KODIAK Flowable has been shown to increase the amount of nodulation by nitrogen-fixing bacteria when used on many 
legumes. This improvement in nodulation is a result of a healthier root system allowing more sites for nodules to form from naturally­
occurring soilborne nitrogen-fixing bacteria. 
FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT 
KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide may be applied as a water-based slurry with other registered seed treatment insecticides and 
fungicides through standard slurry or mist commercial seed treatment eqUipment. Note: This product does not contain colorant. To 
comply with 40 CFR 153.155', all seed treated commercially with this product must be colored with an EPA approved dye or colorant of 
a suitable color to prevent accidental use as food for man or feed for animals. To mix, first add the chemical insecticides and/or 
fungicides to the slurry mix with approximately Y2 of the required water. SlOWly add the KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide to the 
slurry until'a uniform suspension is obtained. Add the remainder of the required water and maintain continuous agitation. Do not store 
mixed slurries for longer than 72 hours.

APPLICATION RATES 
May be used in combination with other registered Bayer CropScience seed treatment fungicides and insecticides. Pre-test for 
compatibility with other seed treatment products. 
COnON: 
For treating of cotton seed destined for planting in states other than California. Treated seed is not to be planted in California. 
For suppression of Rhizoctonia and Fusarium seedling dil)eases, apply 0.5 f1.oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed. 
SEED AND POD VEGETAI3LES (such as) green beans, snap beans, lima beans, kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, wax beans pole 
beans, garden peas, peas and field beans: 
For treating of seed and pod vegetable seed destined for planting in states other than California. Treated seed is not to be planted in 
California. 
For suppression of root diseases caused by Rhizoctonia and Fusarium, apply 0.25 fl.oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed. For improvement of 
nodulation by Rhizobium in fields where appropriate strains are detectable, apply at 0.25 fl.oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed. 
SOYBEANS: 
For treating of soybean seed destined for planting in states other than California. Treated seed is not to be planted in California. 
For suppression of root diseases caused by Rhizoctonia and Fusarium and for improvement of nodulation by Bradyrhizobium, apply 
0.25 f1.oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed. 
WHEAT AND BARLEY: 
For treating of wheat and barley seed destined for planting in states other than California. Treated seed is not to be planted in 
California. 
For suppression of root diseases caused by Rhizoctonia and Fusarium, apply 0.1 - 0.2 f1.oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed. 
CORN (field and sweet) 
For treating of corn (field and sweet) seed destined for planting in states other than California. Treated seed is not to be planted in 
California. 
For suppression of root diseases caused by Rhizoctonia and Fusarium, apply 0.2 -1.0 fl.oz. per 100 Ibs.of seed. 
ALL OTHER AGRICULTURAL SEEDS: 
For treating of all other agricultural seed destined for planting in states other than California. Treated seed is not to be planted in 
California. . 
For suppression of root diseases caused by Rhizoctonia and Fusarium, apply 0.2 - 1.0 fl.oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed. Adjust rate 
accordingly to provide good coverage. Larger seed, because of reduced surface area, requires less product per 100 pounds than 
smaller seed. . 
FOR APPLICATIONS OF KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide IN THE FIELD BY THE GROWER: 
KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide when packaged in 32 fl. oz. (one-quart) Tip-and-Pour' containers are filled toa 16 fl. oz. 
volume. Prior to applying KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide to cottonseed in a "downstream" application, KODIAK Flowable 
Biological Fungicide must be mixed thoroughly with an equal volume (16 fl. oz) of clean tap or well water. Mixing must be done directly 
in the Tip-and-Pour container. The 50/50 mixture of the KODIAK Flowable Biolog'ical Fungicide and water (now a total of 32 fl.oz.) will 
treat a total of 64 bags (32 cwts.) of cottonseed per container. Each time the ;Tip-and-Pour' is inverted, the pouring chamber will have 
2.0 fl.oz. of the mixture. To obtain an appropriate amount of KODIAK Flowab,le Biological Fungicide to treat 8 bags of cottonseed, two 
'tips' must be made to measure the correct amount of KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide. Do not use treated seed for food or feed 
purposes or process for oil. Treat only those seeds needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and planting. 
FOR APPLICATIONS OF KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide TO SEED AND POD VEGETABLES: 
KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide when packaged in 32 fl. oz. (one-quart) Tip-and-Pour' containers are filled to a 16 fl. oz. 
volume. Prior to applying KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide to seed and pod Vegetables, KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide 
must be mixed thoroughly with an equal volume (16 fl. oz) of clean tap or well water. Mixing must be done directly in the Tip-and-Pour 
container. The 50/50 mixture of the KODIAK Flowable Biological Fungicide and water (now a total of 32 fl.oz.) will treat a total of 64 cwt. 
of seed and pod vegetables. One tip of the bottle after mixing with water will provide 2 f1.oz. (a diluted 1 fl.oz. of KODIAK Flowable 
Biological Fungicide) that will treat 4 cwt of seed and pod vegetables. Do not use treated seed for food or feed purposes or process for 
oil. Treat only those seeds needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and planting.
