DO NOT con- taminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate . (continued) SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENT (continued) • Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water . This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water . This product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application . A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin from runoff water and sediment . Run- off of this product will be reduced by avoiding the planting of treated seed when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours . Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination . • Groundwater Advisory: Fluxapyroxad , pyraclostrobin and metalaxyl are known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use . These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are per- meable, particularly where the water table is shallow . • When applying both metalaxyl - and mefenoxam- containing products to the same crop within the same season, DO NOT apply more than the maximum year- ly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product containing the low- est yearly total on that crop . • In the event of crop failure or harvest of a crop grown from this seed, the field may be replanted immediately with dry beans, soybean, or any other crop which has tolerances for all active ingredients: fluxapyroxad, pyraclostrobin , metalaxyl , and thiophanate-methyl . • For crops with tolerance for fluxapyroxad, the mini- mum plant back interval is 30 days from the date this seed was planted . • For crops without a tolerance for fluxapyroxad, the plant back interval is 12 months . • A cover crop without one or more tolerances may be planted for purposes of erosion control or soil improve- ment; however, the crop may not be grazed or harvested for food or feed .

6 Product Information Obvius® Plus fungicide seed treatment , hereafter in this label referred to as Obvius Plus , is a liquid broad spectrum fungicide seed treatment that provides preven - tive seed and seedling protection from several seedborne and soilborne diseases . Refer to the Diseases Controlled by Obvius ® Plus fungicide seed treatment table for approved crops and associated diseases controlled by Obvius Plus . Mode of Action Obvius Plus contains four active ingredients from different fungicide groups that have distinct modes of action . • Pyraclostrobin is classified as a Target Site of Action Group 11 fungicide . • Fluxapyroxad is classified as a Target Site of Action Group 7 fungicide . • Metalaxyl is classified as a Target Site of Action Group 4 fungicide . • Thiophanate-methyl is classified as a Target Site of Action Group 1 fungicide . Resistance Management Obvius Plus contains a Group 1 (thiophanate-methyl), Group 4 (metalaxyl), Group 7 (fluxapyroxad), and Group 11 (pyraclostrobin) fungicide . Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Obvius Plus and other Group 1, Group 4, Group 7, and/or Group 11 fungicides . A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields . Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but specific for individual chemicals, including enhanced metabolism, may also exist . Follow appropriate resistance- management strategies . Due to the minimal amount of Obvius Plus applied to the seed that relocates to the upper parts of the plant and the multiple modes of action, the potential for development of resistance is extremely low . Seed treatments of Obvius Plus can therefore be followed by foliar use fungi- cides containing the same modes of action in accordance with resistance management guidelines as specified on the respective labels . To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the fol- lowing steps: • Rotate the use of Obvius Plus or other Group 1, Group 4 , Group 7, and/or Group 11 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens . • Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted . Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer . • Adopt an integrated pest management (IPM) program for fungicide use that includes scouting, uses historical infor- mation related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, dis - ease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices . • Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications . Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance . • Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance devel - opment . Monitor the efficacy of all fungicides used in the disease management program against the targeted pathogen and record other factors that may influence fungicide performance and/or disease development . • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance- management and/or IPM guidance for specific crops and pathogens . • For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your BASF representative, local extension spe - cialist, or certified crop advisor . Application Instructions Seed must be well conditioned and free of chaff before treating with Obvius Plus . Uniform seed coverage and proper application equipment calibration is essential for good disease control . Weather conditions (hot or cold), seed type and surface, and equipment used all have a bearing on the uniformity of coverage . When applied at the indicated rate(s), dilution with water is not necessary unless advised by the manufacturer of the seed treatment application equipment . Consult a seed treatment specialist for calibration and operation proce - dures of the seed treatment equipment being used . Obvius Plus may be applied using standard commercial seed treatment equipment (including, but not limited to, slurry or mist-type equipment) or on-farm seed treatment equipment . Obvius Plus may also be used in on-the-go type air seeder treatment systems . DO NOT apply directly into a planter box . This product does not contain colorant . The purchaser of Obvius Plus is responsible for ensuring all seed treated with this product is adequately dyed with a suitable color to prevent accidental use as food for man or feed for ani- mals . Refer to 21 CFR, Part 2 .25 . • Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed . • Any dye or colorant added to treated seed must be cleared for use under 40 CFR, Part 180 .900, “ Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance” . Federal regulations have established official tolerances or exemptions from tolerances for residues on food and for- age crops that must not be exceeded when the product (dye or colorant) is used at specified rates .

7 Tank Mixing Information Tank Mix Partners It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use . When using Obvius® Plus fungicide seed treatment in a tank mix- ture with other seed treatment products, read and follow all directions for use, crops/sites, application restrictions, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations on the tank mix partner label . DO NOT exceed label dosage or application rate . Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture . DO NOT combine with any product that pro- hibits mixing . Compatibility Test for Tank Mix Components When tank mixing Obvius Plus , always test compatibility before use by performing a jar test as follows: 1 . Add all intended seed treatment products and the appropriate amount of water in a clear glass jar . 2 . Mix well and allow to sit for one hour . 3 . Remix and observe for physical incompatibility . Also test with the seed to ensure the combination of tank mix products does not have detrimental effects on the seed . Mixing Order For containers 5 gallons or less, shake well before use . For containers greater than 5 gallons, recirculate before use . 1 . Water - Add 3/4 of the required volume of water to the mix tank and turn on agitation . 2 . Agitation - Mechanical agitation is required for proper mixing of Obvius Plus . 3 . Dye or colorant 4 . Wettable powders 5 . Soluble powders 6 . Flowable formulations (including Obvius Plus ) 7 . Emulsifiable concentrates 8 . Water - Remaining 1/4 of required water volume is added last and can be used as rinsate for the chemical container or to adjust the total slurry to compensate for water displacement by powdered products . Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been used . Ensure seed is dry before bagging .
