I ' ) Method of Application Seed should be well conditioned and free of chaff before treating with CharterA' fungicide seed .treatment. Treated seed should not require drying after treatment and can be stored or bagged immediately (provided excessive slurry volumes are not applied to the seed). Charter may be applied using standard commercial seed treatment equip­ ment (such as, but not limited to, slurry or mist-type equipment) or on-farm seed treatment equipment. Charter may also be used in on-the-go type air seeder treatment systems. Charter should be applied to barley, oats, rye, triticale, and wheat at the rate of 3.1 fluid ounces of product per 100 pounds of seed. Thorough seed coverage and proper application equipment calibration is essential for good dis­ ease control. To achieve thorough coverage, Charter may be diluted with water, if needed, into a slurry. Direct appli­ cation into a planter box is prohibited. Use Restrictions • DO NOT use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing. • DO NOT store Charter near feed or foodstuffs. • DO NOT contaminate feed or foodstuffs . • DO NOT contaminate domestic or irrigation waters. • DO NOT plant any crop not listed on this label within 30 days after planting Charter fungicide treated seed. TREATED SEED MUST BE LABELED AS FOLLOWS: "This seed has been treated with Charter containing triticonazole. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil processing. DO NOT plant any crop other than barley, oats, rye, triticale, or wheat within 30 days after planting Charter treated seed." DO NOT use the same auger for treating seed that will handle commercial or feed grains. DO NOT store leftover treated seed where there is a chance of it becoming mixed with untreated seed. Store treated seed in cool, dry conditions. DO NOT allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seeds. Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt and protective gloves when handling treated seed. Dispose of seed packaging or containers in accordance with local requirements. 5
