IMPORTANT: To maintain mg ai / seed there is no need to adjust the rate if fluid ounces per number of seeds (i.e.
1,000, 80,000) is used as the rate.
To maintain mg ai / seed when the rate is used in fluid ounces / 100 lb, adjust the rate in proportion to the actual seeds
/ lb compared to the standard number of seeds / lb for that crop. For example, if there are 1600 corn seeds / lb, the
targeted rate is 0.16 mg ai / seed and the non-adjusted rate in fl. oz. / 100 lb of seed is 1.6 use 1,600 ÷ 1,786 x 1.6 =
1.43 fl. oz. / 100 lbs of seed.
For End Use Application At Agricultural Establishments
