with one-half of slurry mix. Add balance of the seed and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz. of dry TALC per 50-pound bag of seed following the Axcess'" Insecticide Seed Treatment application and allow it to distribute evenly on the seed. Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by aphids (including Bird cherry-oat, English grain, Greenbug, and Russian wheat aphid), and' Hessian fly, apply 0.8 to 2.4 fluid ounces per hundredweight of seed prior to planting as a slurry treatment. Low use rate for "wireworm-only" protection: Axcess applied at the 0.13 to 0.26 flo oz. per hundredweight of seed offers suppression of wireworm activity on seed and young seedlings. To provide early season protection from grasshopper damage, apply Axcess to seed at 1.2 to 2.4 fluid ounces per hundredweight. To reduce early season damage caused by grasshopper, Axcess treated seed may be planted as a 50- to 60-foot border around the edges of the field. Consult your local university extension entomologist for details regarding grasshopper control in your area. For maximum effectiveness, seed must be treated uniformly. Use the higher rate to provide increased length of protection and from heavy insect pressure and from wireworms, and to reduce potential spread of Barley yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors. DO NOT graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments: Apply using a Total Slurry Treater (fST), Farmer Applied Seed Treater (FAS.T.), Air Pressure System or other on­ farm seed treating equipment to deliver accurate rates of Axcess to achieve optimum product performance. Apply 0.8 to 2.4 flo oz. per hundredweight of seed. Axcess should be combined with a BASF Corporation fungicide product for seed and seedling protection against fungal pathogens, as well as insect pests. Dilution with water may be necessary depending on fungicide formulation used. Axcess may also be applied on-farm as an over­ treatment to seed pretreated with a fungicide. In this case, dilution is necessary. DO NOT graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. Sorghum, Millet To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by Aphids (including Corn leaf, English grain, Greenbug, and Yellow sugar cane aphid), Chinch bugs, Fire ants and Wireworms, apply 6.4 fluid ounces per hundredweight of seed prior to planting as a slurry treatment. Ensure thorough coverage. DO NOT graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. Sorghum, Millet For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments: Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake Axcess thoroughly before use. Dilute 3.2 fluid ounces ofAxcess with water. The final slurry rate must be 6 adjusted to apply a rate of 8 to 10 fluid ounces of diluted slurry per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. Add the balance of the seed and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz. of dry TALC per 50-pound bag of seed following the Axcess application and allow it to distribute evenly on the seed. DO NOT graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. Cotton (Delinted Seed Only) To provide protection of seedlings against injury by early season thrips and aphids, and where the specific application rate is desired on an individual seed basis apply at 0.375 mg. ai. per seed (DO NOT apply more than 12.8 fluid ounces per hundredweight of seed) prior to planting as a slurry treatment so as to ensure thorough coverage. Otherwise, apply at 12.8 fluid ounces per hundredweight of seed. Regardless of the type of application (seed treatment, soil or foliar) DO NOT apply more than a total of 0.5 lb. of imidacloprid per acre per cropping cycle. Cotton (Delinted Seed Only) For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments: Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake Axcess thoroughly before use. Dilute 6.4 fluid ounces ofAxcess with water or a ready-to-use fungicide mixture for each 50-pound bag of cottonseed to be treated. The final slurry rate must be adjusted to apply a rate of 8 to 10 fluid ounces of diluted slurry per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. Add the balance of the seed and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Sugar Beets To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by Whitefly, Aphids, Leafhoppers (including to reduce potential for spread of Curly top and Yellow mosaic virus due to aphid and leafhopper vectors), Root aphid, Thrips and Wireworms, apply as a commercial seed treatment at 2.4 to 5.0 fluid ounces ofAxcess in or on a un~ of pelleted sugar beet seed with a weight ratio of 2:1 pelleting mixture to raw seed (seed count 100,000 seed - approximately 1 kilogram by weight). Apply in a film coat directly to raw seed (100,000 seed or approximately 1 kilogram by weight) at a rate of 2.4 fluid ounces per unit of seed.
