PRODUCT INFORMATION 
Granol N-M is a special seed treatment formulation of lindane and maneb, which when used at the 
correct dosage rates, protects crops against seed borne diseases such as stinking smut (bunt) of wheat, 
oat smut, covered and false loose smuts of barley and bunt of rye. It also protects cereal crops against 
certain seed and soil-borne diseases such as root rot and seedling blight. Granol N-M also provides 
temporary protection of seeds and seedlings against wireworms. 
Granol N-M is especially designed for on-the-farm treatment for drill or planter box applic,!tion .. This 
application is mixed directly with the seed in the box, either as it is running into the box or by spteading 
the treatment in a layer over the leveled seed and thoroughly mixing the treatment (with an axe handle 
or paddle) or with suitable seed treatment equipment. Refer to application instructions on this label.

1. Automatic Seed Treaters-Equipment that meters the proper amount of Granol N-M and uniformly 
mixes it as seed is augered into the planter or drill box. Be sure to calibrate equipment to get the 
proper amount of Granol N-M on the seed. 
2. Drill or Planter Box Application - Place and level one-half of the seed in the drill or planter box; then 
uniformly sprinkle over the seed one-half of the total Granol N-M required. Mix thoroughly with an 
axe handle or paddle (an axe handle or paddle used for seed treatment purposes only), then fill the box 
with seed and sprinkle the remaining one-half of the Granol N-M over the seed and thoroughly mix 
once more. Stir until streaking of the powder has disappeared and coating of the seed is uniform. 
3. Dribble required amount of Granol N-M into each bushel of seed as it is poured into the drill box 
and mix until seed is uniformly coated. 
Vacuum Planters - Pour 50 pounds of seed into the planter box. Pour enough Granol N-M on top of the 
seed to treat 50 pounds of seed. Mix thoroughly with an axe handle or paddle until seed is uniformly 
covered. Then add any plantability additive at the recommended rate to improve seed flowability (talc, 
etc.). Mix thoroughly once more with an axe handle or paddle to get uniform coverage. This process 
will provide best seed flow through the planter while providing all the benefits of a seed treatment 
product. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. 
STORAGE: Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store away from water, food and feed.
