Field Corn: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments: 
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake GAUCHO 480 Flowable thoroughly before use. Dilute 
GAUCHO 480 Flowable with water and/or an approved Gustafson fungicide mixture. The final slurry rate must be adjusted 
to apply a rate of 8 - 10 fl oz of diluted slurry per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. 
Add balance of the seed and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz. of dry 
TALC per 50-pound bag of seed following the GAUCHO 480 Flowable application and allow it to distribute evenly on the 
seed. 
Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale:
To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by aphids (including Bird cherry-oat, English grain, 
Greenbug, and Russian wheat aphid), Hessian fly and Wireworms, apply 1.0 to 3.0 fl oz per hundredweight of seed prior to 
planting as a slurry treatment. Low use rate for "wireworm-only" protection: GAUCHO 480 applied at the 0.16 - 0.32 fl oz 
per hundredweight of seed offers suppression of wireworm acti vity on seed and young seedlings. To provide early season 
protection from grasshopper damage, GAUCHO 480 must be applied to seed at 1.5 to 3.0 fl oz per hundredweight. To 
reduce early season damage caused by gra sshopper, GAUCHO treated seed may be planted as a 50 to 60 foot border 
around the edges of the field. Consult your local university extension entomologist for details regarding grasshopper 
control in your area. For maximum effectiveness, seed must be treated uniformly. Ensure thorough coverage. Use the 
higher rate to provide increased length of protection and from heavy insect pressure and from wireworms, and to reduce 
potential spread of Barley yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 
days after planting. 
Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments:
Apply using a Total Slurry Treater (TST), Farmer Applied Seed Treater (F.A.S.T.), Gustafson Air Pressure System (GAP) 
or other on-farm seed treating equipment to deliver accurate rates of GAUCHO 480 Flowable to achieve optimum product 
performance. Apply 1.0 - 3.0 fl oz per hundredweight of seed. GAUCHO 480 Flowable must be combined with a Gustafson 
fungicide product for seed and seedling protection against fungal pathogens, as well as insect pests. Depending on 
fungicide formulation used dilution with water may be necessary for optimum coverage. GAUCHO 480 Flowable may also 
be applied on-farm as an over-treatment to seed pretreated with a fungicide. In this case, dilution is necessary. Do not 
graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. 
Sorghum, Millet:
To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by Aphids (including Corn leaf, English grain, Greenbug, and 
Yellow sugar cane aphid), Chinch bugs, Fire ants and Wireworms, apply 8 fl oz per hundredweight of seed prior to planting 
as a slurry treatment. Ensure thorough coverage. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after 
planting. 
Sorghum, Millet: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments: 
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake GAUCHO 480 Flowable thoroughly before use. Dilute 4 fl oz 
of GAUCHO 480 Flowable with water. The final slurry rate must be adjusted to apply a rate of 8 - 10 fl oz of diluted slurry 
per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. Add the balance of the seed and apply 
balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz of dry TALC per 50-pound bag of seed 
following the GAUCHO 480 Flowable application and allow it to distribute evenly on the seed. Do not graze or feed 
livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. 
Cotton (Delinted Seed Only):
To provide protection of seedlings against injury by early season thrips and aphids and where specific application rate is 
desired on an individual seed basis apply at 0.375 mg. ai per seed (do not apply more than 16.0 fluid ounces per 
hundredweight of seed) prior to planting as a slurry treatment so as to ensure thorough coverage. Otherwise, apply at 16.0 
fl oz per hundredweight of seed. Regardless of the type of application (seed treatment, soil or foliar) do not apply more 
than a total of 0.5 lb of imidacloprid per acre per cropping cycle. 
Cotton (Delinted Seed Only): For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments: 
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake GAUCHO 480 Flowable thoroughly before use. Dilute 8 fl oz 
of GAUCHO 480 Flowable with water or a ready to use fungicide mixture, such as Gustafson RTU ®-VITAVAX®-Thiram or 
ALLEGIANCE
® -FL, for each 50-pound bag of cottonseed to be treated. The final slurry rate must be adjusted to apply a 
rate of 8 to 10 fl oz of diluted slurry per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. Add the 
balance of the seed and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered.
