Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
WARNING. May be fatal if swallowed, absorbed through
skin, or inhaled, Causes moderate eye irritation. DO NOT
get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. DO NOT breathe spray
mist or vapor. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact
may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators, mixers, loaders, and other handlers must
wean
• Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants
• Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks
• Chemical-resistant gloves (such as barrier laminate, butyl
rubber, nitrite rubber, neoprene rubber, polyvinyl chloride
(PVC), viton, natural rubber or selection Category C)
• Non-powered air-purifying respirator equipped with an
N-series, R-series, or P-serles filter
In addition, mixers and loaders must wear:
• Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure
• Chemical-resistant apron when cleaning equipment,
mixing, or loading
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintain-
ing PPE. If no such Instructions exist, use detergent and hot
water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco.
• Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Engineering Controls Statement
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a
manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides
(40 CFR 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements
may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
Regardless of the requirement for supplemental ventilation,
all workers handling treated seed must wear the required
PPE.

c IField Com Seed Treatment
Facilities and/or machinery treating field corn seed must be
adequately ventilated in a manner that moves dust and
vapor away from applicators and handlers such as the
following:
Adequate ventilation could be maintained by dilution ventila-
tion systems, which provide for a bulk flow of air away from
the workers breathing zone and replace contaminated air
with clean air. Dilution ventilation could be provided by
exhaust fans on the wall or ceiling and open windows or
doors opposite the exhaust fans. Adequate ventilation could
also be provided by installing local exhaust ventilation at the
point of dust contamination via hoods or ducts that remove
contaminated air before it reaches the breathing zone and
exhaust it directly to the outdoors, exhaust stacks, or
filtration systems.
Supplemental ventilation is not required in areas where seed
is treated in enclosed equipment and dust contamination
does not occur, such as Gustafson S Series seed treaters or
equivalent.

invertebrates, DO NOT discharge effluent containing this
product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or

Container Handling
Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this con-
tainer. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container
(or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for

puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by
incineration, or by other procedures approved by state and
local authorities.
Triple rinse containers small enough to shake
(capacity <. 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining
contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain
for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the
container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for
10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a
mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this proce-
dure two more times.
Triple rinse containers too large to shake
(capacity > 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining
contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the
container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures.
Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring
at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the
container on its end and tip it back and forth several times.
Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back
and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application
equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or
disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times.
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents
nto application equipment or mix tank and continue to
drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold
container upside down over application equipment or mix
tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pres-
sure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at
about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds
after the flow begins to drip.

Apply Regent TS as a water-based slurry with other regis-
tered corn seed treatment materials. Test potential tank mix
partners for physical compatibility with Regent TS and
added dyes or polymers before mixing In a large tank for
seed treatment,
Apply Regent TS at the rate of 1 to 2 fl ozs (0.05 to
0.10 Ib ai) per 100 Ibs seed with a seed treatment machine
that can provide an accurate application of chemicals to
seeds. Proper application equipment calibration is essential
for good disease control.
Regent TS can be applied with a polymer to Improve appli-
cation uniformity and adherence and reduce dust. Follow
manufacturer's directions for polymer use rate. Use 10 to
24 fl ozs of slurry per 100 Ibs seed, or follow machine and
polymer manufacturer's recommendations for slurry volumes
for com.
Use a sufficient amount of EPA-approved seed dye or
colored polymer to achieve a distinctive unnatural color on
the seed.
To apply Regent TS using a mixing tank, place 3/4 of the
water and all of the polymer or dye needed into the mixing
tank and begin agitation. Measure the specified rate of
Regent TS; add to the tank. Use the remaining water to
thoroughly rinse the measuring container. Add rinsate to the
tank. Maintain agitation during application.
Seed Labeling
Treated seed must be labeled in accordance with the
requirements of the Federal Seed Act. Bags containing
treated seeds must be labeled with the following information:
"This seed has been treated with Regent* TS insecticide,
containing fipronil. DO NOT use treated seed for food, feed,
oil processing, or any other purpose except planting. Store
away from feed and foodstuffs."
