• Cotton: For systemic seed and seedling protection against seedborne fungi causing seed decay and the soilborne pathogen, Rhizoclonia solani inciting seedling damping-off, apply 0.20 - 0.53 fl.oz.lcwt of seed. For pythium seed rot and damping-off, apply Allegiance-FL as a seed treatment at the rate of 0 .. 75 - 1.5 fl.oz.lcwt of seed to enhance broad spectrum protection. Soybean: For systemic protection against seedborne fungal pathogens causing seed decay and the soilbome fungus, Rhizoctonia so/ani causing seedling damping-off, apply 0.20 - 0.27 fl.oz.lcwt. of seed. For Pythium protection, a reduced rate application of Alleglance-FL (0.2 - 0.375 fl.oz. cwt of seed) may be used. Apply Allegiance-FL at 0.75 fl.oz.lcwt. of seed for pythium protection of seed being planted into soils known to have a history of severe pythium pressure.
