PRODUCT INFORMATION 
BYI 02960 480 FS: 
 
x is a seed treatment insecticide that, when applied to seed, protects the seed and seedling against certain early season insects. 
As a result of the protection, there is an improvement in plant vigor, which often results in more uniform plants and greater 
yields. 
 
USE RESTRICTIONS 
x Regardless of type of application (seed treatment or foliar), do not apply more than 0.365 lb (Soybean) and 0.274 lb (Canola 
including Brassica napus, Brassica rapa, Brassica juncea and Rapeseed) of active ingredient flupyradifurone per acre per 
season. 
x Only for use in commercial seed treatment facilities. Not for use in hopper box, planter box, slurry box, or other on-farm see d 
treatment applications. 
x All seed treated with this product must be colored with an EPA- approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the 
seed to help prevent the inadvertent use of treated seed for food, feed, or oil purposes. 
x Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) by-products are not used for livestock feed and (2) no 
measureable residues of pesticide remain in ethanol by products that are used in agronomic practice. 
 
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
x All seed treated with this product must be colored with an EPA- approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the 
seed to help prevent the inadvertent use of treated seed for food, feed, or oil purposes. 
x Apply BYI 02960 480 FS as a commercial water-based slurry eith er alone or with other registered seed treatment insecticides 
or fungicides through standard slurry or mist commercial seed treatment equipment. Follow the most restrictive of the labeling 
limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. Treated seed must be labeled in accordance with the requirements 
of the Federal Seed Act. 
x May be used in combination with other registered Bayer CropScience seed treatment fungicides and/or insecticides. Pre-test for 
compatibility with other seed treatment products. 
 
 
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS 
 
Compatibility 
Application to seed must be done in commercial seed treatment facilities utilizing standard slurry treaters. It is essential that before using 
BYI 02960 480 FS seed treatment in any tank mixture the compatibility of the mixture be established. Add BYI 02960 480 FS at the 
labeled rate to a clean quart jar containing approximately one-half the amount of water intended for a final slurry application rate. Next, 
follow with all other tank mix components that will be used in the total slurry application. Add last the remaining balance of water. The 
total amount of volume is determined by the seed size and how much is necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage and 
distribution on the seed, as well as the type of commercial seed treating application equipment that will be used. 
DO NOT USE MIXTURES THAT CURDLE, PRECIPITATE, OR GEL. USE TANK MIXTURES IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING WITH 
ADEQUATE AGITATION. 
 
Order of Mixing 
1. When applied with seed treatment application equipment designed to treat seed utilizing a treatment slurry mixture, add 
approximately ½ to Ҁ of the required water to the treatment slurry tank followed by the accompanying seed treatment products 
and BYI 02960 480 FS. The order of product addition is dependant on the accompanying seed treatment products and 
application equipment used. 
2. Allow each slurry component to disperse completely prior to the next addition until a uniform suspension is obtained. 
3. After all slurry components have been added and dispersed completely add the remaining ½ to ѿ of required water for proper 
slurry volume and mix until uniform. Do not store mixed slurries for greater than 72 hours.

6 
4. Maintain adequate agitation until treatment slurry is applied. 
For additional instructions for use, slurry component mixing order, and other application suggestions contact your Bayer CropScience 
representative. 
 
 
INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (IRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS 
For resistance management, BYI 02960 480 FS contains a Group 4D insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally 
resistant to BYI 02960 480 FS and other Group 4D insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this 
group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. 
To delay insecticide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: 
Rotate the use of BYI 02960 480 FS or other Group 4D insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different 
groups that control the same pests. 
 
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group th at are equally effective on the target pest when such use is 
permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance 
issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following 
recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC): 
x Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the rates at which they 
are individually registered for use against the target species. 
x Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect 
resistance management. 
x When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted 
pest(s). 
x Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still 
provide pest management benefits. 
x The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticid e mixture are greatest if the two components have similar 
periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may 
offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active. 
x Adopt an integrated pest management progr am for insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to 
pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. 
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult 
with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor. 
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM 
recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area. 
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
