This product may have effects on federally listed threatened or endan­ gered species or their critical habitat in some counties. It is a violation of federal law to kill, harm, or harass listed ani­ mal species without authorization. To limit the potential for such impacts when using this product, consult and follow the instructions provided in the EPA Endangered Species Bulletin for the county or parish in which you are applying the seed. To determine whether your county or parish has a bulletin, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp before each season's use of this product.

) Environmental Hazards This chemical is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, oysters, and shrimp. DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighbor­ ing areas. DO NOT contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Treated seeds are hazardous to fish, birds and mammals. DO NOT plant treated seeds by broadcasting to the soil surface. Ensure that all seeds are thoroughly covered with soil, especially in turn areas. If seeds are not thoroughly incorporated by the planter during planting, additional incorporation may be required to thoroughly cover exposed seeds. Treated seed exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during load­ ing and planting. Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of water. Directions For Use It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a man­ ner inconsistent with its labeling. Read entire label before using this product. DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact work­ ers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. 3 AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides.

It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equip­ ment (PPE) and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. After the seeds have been planted, DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 24 hours. EXCEPTION: Once the seeds are planted in soil or other planting media, the Worker Protection Standard allows workers to enter the treated area without restriction if there will be no worker contact with the seeds. PPE required for early entry to treated areas permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: • Coveralls • Shoes plus socks • Chemical-resistant gloves made of waterproof material • Protective eyewear STORAGE AND DISPOSAL DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

) STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued) Container Disposal (continued) 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 sec­ onds. 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 pro­ cedure 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 clo­ sures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 sec­ onds. 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 rin­ sate 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 into application equipment or mix tank and con­ tinue 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 pressure 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. Refillable Container.

Method of Application Seed should be well conditioned and free of chaff before treating with CharterG' PB 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 PB may be applied using standard commercial seed treatment equipment (such as, but not limited to, slurry or mist-type equipment) or on-farm seed treatment equipment. Charter PB may also be used in on-the-go type air seeder treatment systems. Charter PB should be applied to barley, oats, rye, triticale, and wheat at the rate of 5.5 f1 ozs 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 PB may be diluted with water, if needed, into a slurry. Direct application into a planter box is prohibited. Use Restrictions • DO NOT use treated seed for food, feed, or oil processing. • Store treated seed away from food and feedstuff. • DO NOT contaminate feed or foodstuff. • DO NOT contaminate bodies of water when disposing of planting equipment washwater. • DO NOT plant any crop not listed on this label within 30 days after planting Charter PB-treated seed. • Plant barley, oats, rye, triticale, and wheat seed a mini­ mum of 1-inch deep. • DO NOT use the same auger for treating seed that will handle commercial or feed grains. • DO NOT store leftover seed where there is a chance of it becoming mixed with untreated seed.
