General Information 
Dividend WS is a systemic seed dressing which_controls or suppresses 
certain seed-bome, soil-borne, and fall season foliar diseases of wheat. 
An EPA-approved coloring agent has been added to the formulation. 
Mixing Procedures 
Dividend WS may be applied as a water-based slurry with other regis­
tered seed treatment insecticides and fungiCides through standard slurry­
or mist-type commercial seed treatment equipment. Apply up to 16 fl. oz. 
of this slurry per 100 Ibs. seed. Mix the slurry thoroughly with the seed to 
provide uniform coverage. 
Mixing Instructions 
) Prepare no more mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. 
) 
Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Agitate 
thoroughly to dissolve the soluble bag and disperse the product. 
Maintain agitation throughout.the treatment operation. Do not let the 
slurry mixture stand overnight in the mix tank without agitation. Flush the 
mix equipment thoroughly following each day of use: 
Note: 1 lb. Dividend WS displaces 0.7 lb. water. 
Precaution: Water soluble bags of Dividend WS must be completely dis­
solved and dispersed in plain water before any other tank mix partner is 
added to the spray solution. 
Dividend WS Alone: Add all of the required amount of plain water to the 
mix tank. With the agitator running, drop the required number of 
unopened soluble bags of Dividend WS into the tank all at once. Begin 
application of the slurry solution after the bags have dissolved and the 
material has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation 
until all of the mixture has been applied. 
Dividend WS + Tank Mixtures: Add all of the required amount of plain 
water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, drop the required num­
ber of unopened soluble bags of Dividend WS, and any other products 
packaged in water-soluble bags, into the tank all at once. After the 
water-soluble bags have dissolved and the products have dispersed uni­
formly into the mix water, add the desired amount of other products rec­
ommendedfor tank mixture and allow them to become completely dis­
persed. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform suspension until all of 
the slurry solution has been applied. 
If using Dividend WS in a tank mixture with other seed treatment prod­
ucts, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, 
precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank mix product label.
