PRODUCT INFORMATION This product contains a biological nematicide for the control of the following nematode: Soybean Cyst Nematode Heterodera glycines Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc. 6 of 28 May 16,2012
(Proposed Label for SOYACYST LF / ST Sub-Label A FOR USE As FOLIAR APPLICATION APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Soybean: Apply 1.3 to 64 fluid ounces (fl oz) of SOYACYST LF per 1000 square feet of soybean prior to planting and subsequently in 3 to 4 week intervals. Use the higher application rate on sites with high Soybean cyst nematode populations (greater than 50 Soybean cyst nematodes per 0.4 cup [100cm3] of soil) or areas with extensive nematode damage such as stunted plants, dying plants, or heavily stunted root systems compared to unaffected plants in the same field. For best control, a minimum of 3 sequential applications is required. Monthly applications throughout the year may help maintain Soybean cyst nematode populations below economic threshold levels. SOYACYST LF may be diluted in water to attain proper distribution across the area to be treated. This product may be applied using standard calibrated ground spray-application equipment and incorporated to a 4-inch depth prior to bed formation or applied via chemigation through the irrigation system after bed formation (pre-planting). Agitation in the mix tank is recommended for any application requiring dilution of the formulated product with water prior to application. When mixing, fill the tank one-half full with water, add SOYACYST LF slowly to the tank with hydraulic or mechanical agitation, and continue to fill with water. For diluted product applications, apply product in the appropriate amount of water to treat the root-zone of the crop without flushing the product beyond the root-zone of the crop (this can vary with soil type and crop stage). Apply enough water following all applications to move the Pasteuria spores into the soybean root-zone and to flush the irrigation lines of any remaining product. After application of SOYACYST LF and subsequent treatment with water, minimizing irrigation for several weeks following treatment may improve Soybean cyst nematode control. For areas under intense irrigation, repeat applications may be necessary to maintain Soybean cyst nematode populations below an economic threshold. DAYS TO HARVEST There are no restrictions on applying SOYACYST LF up to the time of harvest. Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc. 7 of 28 May 16, 2012
( (Proposed Label for SOYACYST LF / ST Sub-Label A CHEMIGATION Basic Requirements:
- Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move) and drip (trickle) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
- Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.
- If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
- Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
- A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make any necessary adjustments should the need arise. Requirements for Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems:
- Public water supply means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of 25 individuals daily at least 60 days throughout the year.
- Chemigation systems connected to the public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), backflow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water supply upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid- operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
- The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
- Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
- Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc. 8 of 28 May 16, 2012
Proposed Label for SOYACYST LF / ST Sub-Label A Requirements for Sprinkler Chemigation:
- The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
- The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
- The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
- Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

( (Proposed Label for SOYACYST LF / ST Sub-Label A FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of manufacturer, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over seed or propagating material for all crop seed. FOR USE AS A PRE-PLANT SEED TREATMENT Treat only those seeds needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and planting. Do not store excess treated seeds beyond planting time. To achieve improved application coverage to the seed, dilute SOYACYST LF with water and apply directly to dry seed or mix with inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment coatings (e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.), insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix SOYACYST LF with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing with any other registered seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOYACYST LF and the tank mix partner(s). The resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates.

- Public water supply means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of 25 individuals daily at least 60 days throughout the year.
- Chemigation systems connected to the public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), backflow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water supply upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid- operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
- The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
- Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
- Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc. 17 of 28 May 16, 2012
rProposed Label for Soyacyst LF Sub-Label B Requirements for Sprinkler Chemigation:
- The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
- The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
- The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
- Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

Proposed Label for Soyacyst ST Sub-label C FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of manufacturer, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over seed or propagating material for all crop seed. FOR USE AS A PRE-PLANT SEED TREATMENT Treat only those seeds needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and planting. Do not store excess treated seeds beyond planting time. To achieve improved application coverage to the seed, dilute SOYACYST LF with water and apply directly to dry seed or mix with inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment coatings (e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.), insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix SOYACYST LF with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing with any other registered seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOYACYST LF and the tank mix partner(s). The resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates. Please consult Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc. for additional information (http://www.pasteuriabio.com/). SOYBEAN For control of soybean cyst nematode, apply 2 to 12 fluid ounces of SOYACYST LF per 100 Lbs (60-150 mL per 45.4 kg) of soybean seed. FOR USE AS A COMMERICAL SEED TREATMENT To achieve improved application coverage to the seed, dilute SOYACYST LF with water and apply directly to dry seed or mix with inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment coating (e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.), insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix SOYACYST LF with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
