Precautionary Statements Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals WARNING. May be fatal if swallowed, absorbed through skin, or inhaled, Causes moderate eye irritation. DO NOT get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. DO NOT breathe spray mist or vapor. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Applicators, mixers, loaders, and other handlers must wean • Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants • Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks • Chemical-resistant gloves (such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrite rubber, neoprene rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), viton, natural rubber or selection Category C) • Non-powered air-purifying respirator equipped with an N-series, R-series, or P-serles filter In addition, mixers and loaders must wear: • Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure • Chemical-resistant apron when cleaning equipment, mixing, or loading Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintain- ing PPE. If no such Instructions exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: • Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. • Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Engineering Controls Statement When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. Regardless of the requirement for supplemental ventilation, all workers handling treated seed must wear the required PPE.

c IField Com Seed Treatment Facilities and/or machinery treating field corn seed must be adequately ventilated in a manner that moves dust and vapor away from applicators and handlers such as the following: Adequate ventilation could be maintained by dilution ventila- tion systems, which provide for a bulk flow of air away from the workers breathing zone and replace contaminated air with clean air. Dilution ventilation could be provided by exhaust fans on the wall or ceiling and open windows or doors opposite the exhaust fans. Adequate ventilation could also be provided by installing local exhaust ventilation at the point of dust contamination via hoods or ducts that remove contaminated air before it reaches the breathing zone and exhaust it directly to the outdoors, exhaust stacks, or filtration systems. Supplemental ventilation is not required in areas where seed is treated in enclosed equipment and dust contamination does not occur, such as Gustafson S Series seed treaters or equivalent. Environmental Hazards This product is toxic to birds, fish, and aquatic and estuarine invertebrates, DO NOT discharge effluent containing this product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters unless in accordance with the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and the permitting authority has been notified In writ- ing prior to discharge. DO NOT discharge effluent containing this product to sewer systems without previously notifying the local sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance, contact your State Water Board or Regional Office of the EPA. Directions For Use It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read the entire label before using this product. Regent* TS Insecticide cannot be used to formulate, reformulate or repackage into any other pesticide product without the written permission of BASF Corporation. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal. •* Pesticide Storage Store unused product in original container only In cool, dry area out of reach of children and animals. Pesticide Disposal Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide is a violation of federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. Container Handling Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this con- tainer. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recycling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities. Triple rinse containers small enough to shake (capacity <. 5 gallons) 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 proce- dure two more times. Triple rinse containers too large to shake (capacity > 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents nto application equipment or 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 pres- sure 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.

Regent® TS Insecticide for Commercial Treatment of Field Corn Seed Regent TS is an aqueous flowable formulation for use as a seed treatment on field corn. Regent TS provides control or suppression of the following pests: Pest Wireworm Seed corn maggot Grape colaspis White grubs Flea beetle Thrips Rate 1 floz Control NA NA NA NA NA 2 f I ozs Control* Control Control Suppression Suppression" Suppression" 'Use the 2 fl ozs rate in areas with a history of high inherent populations. "Economic protection under light-to-moderate infestations for 14 to 21 days after planting NA = Not Applicable Apply Regent TS as a water-based slurry with other regis- tered corn seed treatment materials. Test potential tank mix partners for physical compatibility with Regent TS and added dyes or polymers before mixing In a large tank for seed treatment, Apply Regent TS at the rate of 1 to 2 fl ozs (0.05 to 0.10 Ib ai) per 100 Ibs seed with a seed treatment machine that can provide an accurate application of chemicals to seeds. Proper application equipment calibration is essential for good disease control. Regent TS can be applied with a polymer to Improve appli- cation uniformity and adherence and reduce dust. Follow manufacturer's directions for polymer use rate. Use 10 to 24 fl ozs of slurry per 100 Ibs seed, or follow machine and polymer manufacturer's recommendations for slurry volumes for com. Use a sufficient amount of EPA-approved seed dye or colored polymer to achieve a distinctive unnatural color on the seed. To apply Regent TS using a mixing tank, place 3/4 of the water and all of the polymer or dye needed into the mixing tank and begin agitation. Measure the specified rate of Regent TS; add to the tank. Use the remaining water to thoroughly rinse the measuring container. Add rinsate to the tank. Maintain agitation during application. Seed Labeling Treated seed must be labeled in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Seed Act. Bags containing treated seeds must be labeled with the following information: "This seed has been treated with Regent* TS insecticide, containing fipronil. DO NOT use treated seed for food, feed, oil processing, or any other purpose except planting. Store away from feed and foodstuffs."
