PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
CAUTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Users should remove clothing
immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothes. Remove PPE immediately after handling this
product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is highly toxic to fish, estuarine and marine invertebrates. 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.
Cover or incorporate spilled treated seeds.
Groundwater Advisory: Metalaxyl and Tebuconazole are known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a
result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
result in groundwater contamination.
Surface Water Advisory: This product has a high potential for runoff for several months or more after applicstion. Poorly drawing soils
and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to runoff that contains this product. A level, well maintained Vegetative buffer strip
between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential
for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applicatidiis'^nen rain.'all is'fc/recasted
within 48 hours.
