Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1,4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application eqUipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinSing nozzle in the side of the container, and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Once container is rinsed, offer for recycling if available, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning.

TREATED SEED DISPOSAL To dispose of out-of-date or otherwise unmarketable seed which has been treated with captan for seed protectant purposes: Broadcast and lightly incorporate seed into field soils using disc or other suitable implement. If rate of captan contained on the seed is unknown, have seed analyzed by a qualified analytical laboratory to determine. Do not plant seed at a seeding rate which will result in the application of more than 32 pounds of captan per acre per year. Any resulting crop may be destroyed by chemical or mechanical means, or, if useful for food or feed purposes, may be harvested for that use. Read all directions before using and use only as specified on this label. DIRECTIONS: Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of Captan 400 Seed Protectant into the required amount of water for the slurry treater equipment and dilution rate to be used. Clean equipment thoroughly between operations. IMPORTANT: Before using - stir thoroughly to mix contents or use entire container at one time. Do not combine colloidal suspensions, wettable powder or emulsifiable concentrates unless previous experience assures compatibility. Refillable Containers End users are authorized to remove tamper evident cables as required to remove the product from the container unless the container is equipped with one way valves and refilling or returning is planned. If this is the case, end users are not authorized to remove tamper evident cables, one way valves or clean container. See Container Disposal instructions under Storage and Disposal. PRODUCT INFORMATION: Captan 400 Seed Protectant is a flowable concentrate especially formulated for the treatment of seed prior to storage and planting to protect seed from molds and other fungi causing storage loss and to protect seed from ~~~qborne and soilborne fungi which cause seed decay, damping-off and seedling blights. c c C (, C CCEPTE FEB 2 2 2011 Under the Pederallnsecticide, Fungici~, and Rodenticide Act, as amended. for the pes&acic1e . stered under rep .
