PRODUCT INFORMATION
BUTEO® start:
•  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
•  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 and Brassica rapa and Rapeseed ) of active ingredient flupyradifurone per acre per season .
•  Only for use in commercial seed treatment facilities .  Not for use in hopper box, planter box, slurry box, or other on-farm seed treatment
applications .
•  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 .
•  Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only 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 .
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
•  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 .
•  Apply BUTEO start as a commercial water-based slurry either 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 .
•  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
BUTEO start seed treatment in any tank mixture the compatibility of the mixture be established . Add BUTEO start 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 2/3 of the required water to the treatment slurry tank followed by the accompanying seed treatment products and BUTEO start .
The order of product addition is dependant on the accompanying seed treatment products and application equipment used .

5.875”
5.1875”
4
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 1/3 of required water for proper
slurry volume and mix until uniform . Do not store mixed slurries for greater than 72 hours .
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, BUTEO start contains a Group 4D insecticide . Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant
to BUTEO start 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 BUTEO start or other Group 4D insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups
that control the same pests .
• Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that 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):
• 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 .
• Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect resistance
management .
• When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted pest(s) .
• Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest
management benefits .
• The insect resistance management benefits 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 .
• Adopt an integrated pest management program 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 .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937) .
