The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is pennitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: • Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Chemical-resistant gloves such as barrier laminate or Viton • Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks • Protective eyewear. COTTON For Damping-off caused by Rhizoc/onia solani: As a row treatment use lh gallon for sandy soil and I gallon for organic soils per acre in a minimum of 15 gallons of water for 13,000 linear feet ofrow based on a 40 inch spacing. Direct the spray toward the seed and surrounding soil at planting time. Do not allow livestock to graze or feed on cotton foliage in peNB treated fields. BEANS For Root and Stem Rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani: As a furrow treatment apply 2 to 3 quarts mixed in 8 to to gallons of water and apply to 14,500 linear feet of bush beans or 8,340 linear feet of pole beans. Direct the spray to the base of planting furrow in front of seed drop and to the covering soil at planting time. Do not directly spray bare seed since delayed emergence may result. In California and Ariwna use 3 to 4 pints in 8 to 10 gallons of water and apply to the same linear feet as above indicated for bush and pole beans. Direct the spray to the furrow and to the covering soil at planting time. Use the lower rates for sandy and light soils. Do not apply to bare seed. SNAP & DRY BEANS· For White Mold caused by Sclero/inia sclerotiorum: Apply as a band row treatment in an 8 inch wide band centered on the row, immediately after or at the time of planting by using 1 gallon mixed in 8 to 10 gallons of water to treat 14,500 linear feet of row for bush beans or 8,340 linear feet for pole beans. ·Not for use in California Avoid application directly to seed since delayed emergence may occur. When Dinitro type pre-emergence herbicides are used, add I gallon of this product to the final spray mix of the herbicide and apply simultaneously. lfdisease is severe additional appHcations may be made at 2 to 3 week intervals using I or 2 nozzles per row and directing the spray to the soil at the base of the plants. Apply at the same rate using I gallon in 8 to 10 gallons of water to treat 14,500 linear feet of row. Do not apply after the first blooms appear. Do not feed treated vines to livestock. GARLIC· For White Rot caused by Sclerotium cepivorum: As a fUl!ow treatment use 10 gallons of this product mixed in tOO gallons of water and apply at planting time 21,800 linear row feet per acre when crop row spacing is 24 inches. This rate is equivalent to 58.7 oz. ofPCNB 2-E LIQUID per 1, 000 linear feet of row. Utilize an appropriate spray rig attached to the planter and spray 8 to 12 inch wide bands using 2 nozzles per planting furrow. Direct the front nozzle to treat the bottom of the open furrow and the seed as it is dropped from the planter and the rear nozzle to treat the soil as the seed is covered. *Notfor use in California PEANUTS .... For Damping-offcaused by Rhizoctonia solani: As a row treatment in sandy soils use Y, gallon ofPeNB 2-E LI<:!WIDar:d in organic soils use 1 gallons PCNB 2-E LIQUID per acre in a minimum of 15 gallons of water for 13,000 linea: I1:eJ, of row based on a 40 inch row spacing.

AS A SEED TREATMENT FUNGICIDE For Barley, Beans, Com, Cotton, Peas, Sorghum, Soybeans, Rice, Oats, Safflower, Sugar Beets and Wheat. For Control of listed Smut diseases and Damping-off caused by Rhizoctonia. Seed Treatment Use PCNB 2-E LIQUID with suitable liquid or slurry type seed treating equipment such as Panogen or Mist-O-Matic and apply at the rates as indicated below. Seed to be used for planting should be sound, fully cured, cleaned and have an excellent gennination record. Use the following seed treatment rates per 100 Ibs. of seed. Important The "Seed Treater" is responsible for the use of an approved seed treater dye in the discoloration of seed that is to be treated and sold for further sales in Interstate commerce. The Federal Government and most States have seed laws or regulations that require treated seed to be "tagged" with an appropriate caution statement such as the following and as found at the bottom of this column for treated seed. Check with such Agencies before release of treated seed. How to Apply Apply PCNB 2-E LIQUID undiluted to the seed directly from the drum at recommended rates. If desirable add one part water to five parts PCNS 2E LIQUID. Make sure to recalibrate equipment to deliver the recommended rate of PCNB 2-E LIQUID per 100 Ibs. of seed. Refer to the following chart. "Use highest rate for pathologically infected seed and when conditions are known to favor the development of soilbome diseases. ···For Cotton use the lower rate for acid delinted; the higher rate for mechanically delinted. ··.·Not for use on Com, Rice or Saffiower in California.
