SEED TREATMENT Acting through its unique combination of plant growth regulators, AGST21053 is a seed dressing that aids in enhancing germination and early season root and top growth.

SEED TYPES Alfalfa, Barley, Bean (dry), Buckwheat, Canola, Clover, Corn, Cotton, Grass (includes species in Gramineae/Poaceae family), Kudzu, Lespedeza, Lupin, Millet, Oats, Onion, Pea, Peanuts, Popcorn, Potato, Rice, Rye, Sainfoin, Sorghum, Soybean, Sugar beet, Sunflower, Sweet potato, Teosinte, Trefoil, Triticale, Velvet bean, Vetch, Wheat, Wild rice, Yam

APPLICATION RATES See below for potato, sweet potato, and yam.

For all other seed noted above, use AGST21053 at the rate of 0.5 – 2.1 fluid ounces per 100 lbs. of seed. Use the higher rate when conditions favor poor germination such as cool soil temperatures or with a low germination seed. Mix AGST21053 with sufficient water to ensure uniform coverage of seeds. Improper coverage will minimize product performance.

NOTE: If seed has been treated with AGST21053, do not apply any other product containing Cytokinin, Gibberellins or Indole-3-butyric Acid as an in-furrow, band, side dress or mark out application.

APPLICATION METHODS Mechanical Seed Treaters Apply the appropriate amount of AGST21053 plus water to a premeasured amount of seed and mix thoroughly until all seed are uniformly coated. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Seed can be treated in this manner and stored until used for planting. Allow seed to dry before bagging or storing. An approved dye must be added to distinguish AGST21053 treated seed and prevent inadvertent use for food, feed or oil purposes as required by the Federal Seed Act. Seed treated with this product must be labeled in accordance with all NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of thi s product that are NOT withi n the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170).
