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.

OQOoo 01',0 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 Thiram or F;lTU-VITAVAX-Thiram be tank mixed with LSP at the EPA registered label rates. 000 00 (,0 0 o (; c Winter and Spring Wheat: u v ~ c. tJ lJ t.

DZ o, .LSP for seedborne Common Bunt, or 4.0 fl. oz. per 100 Ibs. of seed for soilborne Common Bunt, in an equal amount of water (2:1 r.3tio) and apply this dispersion. Keep dispersion under constant agitation. ,v • ~. L <.; 0 Page 2 of 3

" 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. IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE USE Read the entire Directions for Use, Conditions, Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitations of Liability before using this product.
