ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees, birds, fish and aquatic invertebrates. For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water, or to
|
||
areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when
|
||
disposing of equipment washwaters. Treated seed exposed on the soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect seed s
|
||
spilled during loading.
|
||
Ensure that planting equipment is functioning properly in accordance with manufacturing specifications to minimize seed coat ab rasion
|
||
during planting to reduce dust which can drift to blooming crops or weeds.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory: This product has properties and characterist ics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. This
|
||
chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Therefore contain any product spills or equipment leaks and dispose of wastes according to the disposal instructions on this label.
|
||
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
Read all label directions carefully before use.
|
||
RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide is a liquid seed treatment for soybeans to pr otect the seed against listed pe sts,
|
||
control of seed rot, and damping-off disease and is for commerci al seed treatment only. Not for use on agricultural establishme nts in
|
||
hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box or other seed treatment applications at or immediately before planting.
|
||
Seed treated with RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide must be visually identifiable from untreated seed by the use of
|
||
an approved colorant or dye to prevent accidental use of treated seed as food for humans or feed for animals. Refer to 21 CFR, § 2.25.
|
||
Any colorant or dye added to treated seed must be cleared for use in accordance with 40 CFR, § 153.155(c).
|
||
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATION
|
||
For resistance management, please note that RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide contains both a Group 4 and
|
||
Group 11 fungicide and a Group 4a insecticide. Any fungal or insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to
|
||
RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide and other Group 4 or Group 11 fungicides or Group 4a insecticides. A gradual or
|
||
total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides/insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate
|
||
resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||
To delay fungicide and insecticide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fu ngicide or other Group 4 and Group 11 fungicides and Group
|
||
4a insecticides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pests.
|
||
x Use tank mixtures with fungicides or insecticides from a di fferent 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. 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
|
||
|
||
3
|
||
|
||
individual components of the mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide
|
||
Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
|
||
o 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.
|
||
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect
|
||
resistance management.
|
||
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the
|
||
targeted pest(s).
|
||
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still
|
||
provide pest management benefits.
|
||
o The insect resistance management benef its of an insecticide 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 disease management program for fungici de and insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical
|
||
information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant or pest resistance, impact of
|
||
environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical
|
||
control practices.
|
||
x Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effect ively time fungicide applications. Note that using predictive
|
||
models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance.
|
||
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 adv isor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
|
||
recommendations for specific crops and pests.
|
||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience as 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
|
||
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
|
||
This product may be used in combination with other registered Bayer CropScience seed treatment fungicides and insecticides. Pre-test
|
||
for compatibility with other seed treatment products.
|
||
Follow more restrictive labeling of any tank mix partner. DO NOT tank mix with any product, which contains a prohibition on tank
|
||
mixing. RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide may be applied as a water-based slurry with other registered seed
|
||
treatment insecticides and fungicides through standard slurry or mist-type commercial seed treatment equipment.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow th e applicable
|
||
restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most r estrictive
|
||
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Excess treated seed may be used for ethano l
|
||
production only if (1) by-products are not used for livestock feed and (2) no measurable residues of pesticide remain in ethano l
|
||
byproducts that are used in agronomic practice.
|
||
|
||
Compatibility
|
||
It is essential that before using RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide in any tank mixture the compatibility of the
|
||
mixture be established. Add RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide 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.
|
||
|
||
Mixing Instructions
|
||
1. When applied with seed treatment application equipment design ed to treat seed utilizing a treatment slurry mixture, add
|
||
approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the required water to the treatment slurry tank followed by the accompanying seed treatment
|
||
products and RGOF0064 Seed Treatment Insecticide and Fungicide.
|
||
2. The order of product addition is dependent on the accompanying seed treatment products and application equipment used.
|
||
3. Allow each slurry component to disperse completely prior to the next addition until a uniform suspension is obtained.
|
||
4. After all slurry components have been added and dispersed co mpletely add the remaining 1/2 to 1/3 of required water for
|
||
proper slurry volume and mix until uniform.
|
||
5. DO NOT store mixed slurries for greater than 72 hours.
|
||
6. 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

x Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of water.
|
||
x DO NOT contaminate bodies of water when disposing of planting equipment wash water.
|
||
x DO NOT plant treated seeds in areas subject to seasonal or extended periods of standing water.
|
||
x Dispose of seed packaging or containers in accordance with local requirements.
|
||
x DO NOT graze or feed livestock on soybean forage or hay.
|
||
x Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production if (1) by-products are not used for livestock feed and (2) no
|
||
measurable residues of pesticide remain in ethanol by-products that are used in agronomic practice.
|
||
x Treated seed must be adequately covered with soil at planting (1-1.5 inch depth).
|
||
x Ensure that planting equipment is functioning properly in accordance with manufacturing specifications to minimize seed
|
||
coat abrasion during planting to reduce dust which can drift to blooming crops or weeds.
|
||
x ROTATIONAL PLANT-BACK INTERVALS: Treated areas may be replanted with soybean as soon as practical after the
|
||
last application. For crops for which no tolerances for the active ingredients have been established, a 12-month plant-
|
||
back interval must be observed. IMMEDIATE PLANT-BACK: Soybean. 30-DAY PLANT-BACK: Barley, bulb vegetables
|
||
(crops of crop group 03-07), corn (field, pop, and sweet), rapeseed, sorghum, wheat, cereals (including buckwheat, millet,
|
||
oats, rice, rye, and triticale) and safflower. 12-MONTH PLANT-BACK: All other crops. Cover crops for soil building or
|
||
erosion control may be planted any time, but do NOT graze or harvest for food or feed
|
||
x Pollinator Precautions: Imidacloprid is highly toxic to bees. Ensure that planting equipment is functioning properly in
|
||
accordance with manufacturer specifications to minimize seed coat abrasion during planting to reduce dust which can drift
|
||
to blooming crops or weeds.
|
||
x Groundwater Advisory: Metalaxyl is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of
|
||
agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils ar e permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow,
|
||
may result in groundwater contamination.
|
||
x Store treated seed in cool, dry conditions.
|
||
x When using formulations that do not contain dye, to comp ly with 40 CFR153.155, all seed treated with an economic
|
||
poison must be colored with an EPA appr oved dye such as one of the dyes listed in 40 CFR Sections 180.910 and
|
||
180.920 to distinguish and prevent subsequent inadvertent use as a food for man or feed animals.
|
||
x 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: If the treated seed is soil-injected or soil incorporated, the Worker Protection
|
||
Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything
|
||
that has been treated. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection
|
||
Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: coveralls,
|
||
chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, and chemical-resistant footwear.
|
||
x This seed has been treated with 0.099 mg imidacloprid, 0. 024 mg metalaxyl, and 0.008 mg trifloxystrobin per seed.
|
||
x Maximum usage when applying both metalaxyl- and mefenoxam- containing products to the same crop within the same
|
||
season: DO NOT apply more than the maximum yearly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the
|
||
label of the product containing the lowest yearly total on that crop. The maximum application rate for metalaxyl and
|
||
mefenoxam-containing products (including seed treatments, foliar applications, soil application) is 12.3 lb per acre per
|
||
calendar year. DO NOT apply more than 12.3 lb of active ingredient metalaxyl per acre per calendar year.
|
||
x DO NOT apply by seed treatment more than 0.0027 lbs of trifloxystrobin, 0.0084 lbs of metalaxyl or 0.0349 lbs of
|
||
imidacloprid per acre per season.
