LABELING OF TREATED SEED Seed that has been treated with this product that is then packaged or bagged for future use must contain the following labeling on the outside of the seed package or bag. • This seed has been treated with carboxin and pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB). • Do not use for feed, food or oil purposes. • Store away from feeds and foodstuffs. • When opening this bag or loading/pouring the treated seed, wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks, and chemical resistant gloves. • Treated seed exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to birds. Cover or collect spilled seeds. • This product may have effects on federally listed threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat in some counties. It is a violation of federal law to kill, harm or harass listed animal species without authorization. To limit the potential for such impacts when using this product, consult and follow the instructions provided in the EPA Endangered Species Bulletin for the County or Parish in which you are applying the seed. To determine whether your County or Parish has a Bulletin consult http://www.epa.gov/espp before each season's use of this product. • After the seeds have been planted, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted­ entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. Exception: Once the seeds are planted in soil or other planting media, the Worker Protection Standard allows workers to enter the treated area without restriction if there will be no worker contact with the soil subsurface. • Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas of wheat, barley, or oats for six weeks after planting. Do not graze or feed livestock on forage or hay grown from treated cotton or soybean seed. VITAVAX-PCNB Flowable Fungicide combines the systemic action of carboxin with the surface action of PCNB to control various seed and seedling diseases. It is particularly effective against Rhizoctonia so/ani. COMPATIBILITY VIT AVAX-PCNB Flowable FungiCide should not be tank mixed with any pesticide unless adequate physical and compatibility and phytotoxiCity tests have been completed and proved to be satisfactory. USE RESTRICTIONS Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil purposes. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas of wheat, barley, or oats for six weeks after planting. Do not graze or feed livestock on forage or hay grown from treated cotton or soybean seed. Care must be exercised in the handling of treated seed. Since this product does not contain a dye, all seed treated with this product must be colored with an EPA-a{){)wved dye (e.g., 40 CFR 180.1001) which imparts an unnatural color to the seed to help prevent the inadvertent use at troated seed as food for man or feed for animals. , , t. t ( .
