SEED LABELING 
Seed treated commercially or for sale must be dyed an unnatural color using an EPA approved dye before being sold. 
LABELING OF TREATED SEED 
Seed treated commercially or for sale with LSP must be labeled in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Federal Seed Act. 
All bags containing treated seed must be labeled or tagged as follows: 
• This seed has been treated with thiabendazole. 
• Do not use for feed, food or oil processing. 
• Store away from feed and food. 
GENERAL 
LSP is a systemic fungiCide especially formulated as a liquid suspension seed protectant for use as a spray mist or slurry seed 
treatment. 
COMPATIBILITY 
LSP should not be tank mixed with any pesticide unless adequate physical compatibility and phytotoxicity tests have been completed 
and proved to be satisfactory. 
USE PRECAUTION 
When using formulations that do not contain dye, to comply with 40 CFR 153.155, all seed treated with an economic poison must be 
colored to distinguish and prevent subsequent inadvertent use as a food for man or feed for animals. . 
SEED TREATMENT 
Clean seed treatment equipment thoroughly before using LSP. This product has no vapor action; therefore, it is essential that thorough 
coverage of the seed be obtained. In this regard, LSP is recommended to be dispersed with water to aid distributior.. ,:nothe seed. 
When dispersed with water, however, the resulting suspension must be kept under constant agitation. L (.. L U ~

LSP is recommended for control of pod and stem blight (Phomopsis spp.) on soybeans to enhance germi:1atiGn and early seedling 
development. For control of other seed and soilborne diseases, it is recommended that a co-fungicide slkr.I'as Cap:.an ~1'bO, 42-S

" 
For wheat. seed having high infection levels of seedborne Fusarium scab, a lower rate of .25 fl. oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed is 
recommended. LSP should be used as a co-fungicide combined with RAXIL- or VITAVAX-based fungicides to include seed and 
seedling protection against the broad spectrum of diseases associated with the wheat crop, as listed on the product labels. 
Winter Wheat Only: 
Aids in control of Dwarf Bunt in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and Utah: For ready mix or slurry seed 
treaters, disperse 4.0 - 6.0 fl. oz. of LSP in an equal amount of water (1:1 ratio) and apply this selected dispersion per 100 Ibs. of seed. 
Keep dispersion under constant agitation. For best results against Dwarf Bunt, plant winter wheat treated with LSP as late in the 
growing season as is practical. Use only on normal or late winter wheat plantings. Use the lower rate for late plantings of winter wheat. 
The level of product effectiveness will vary with the weather conditions and amount of plant growth which occurs prior to the disease 
infection period. 
Soybeans: 
Control of Pod and Stem blight: Apply LSP at the rate of 0.125-0.25 fl. oz. per 100 Ibs of seed by mixing with the co-fungicide/water 
dispersion in the slurry pre-mix tank. Maintain constant agitation of dispersion.
