USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
2
Users should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Users should remove clothing 
immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
Do not discharge effluent containing this product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters unless in accordance 
with the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and the permitting authority has been 
notified in writing prior to discharge. Do not discharge effluent containing this product to sewer systems without previously notifying the 
local sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance contact your State Water Board or Regional Office of the EPA.
Groundwater Advisory: Metalaxyl is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of agricultural 
use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater 
contamination.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. 
Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Engineering Controls: When handlers use closed systems 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Applying this product when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help 
reduce potential risk to aquatic invertebrates by reducing pesticide runoff from the treatment area into water bodies. Do not apply 
directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate 
water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Drift or run-off from treated areas is hazardous to fish and aquatic 
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Treated seed exposed on the soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect 
seeds spilled during loading.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers 
may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide 
regulation.

spp., and Penicillium spp. causing seed decay and soilbome pathogens, Rhizoctonia solani. Fusarium spp., and Pythium spp. that 
cause seed and seedling damping-off. Trilex AL Concentrate can be used for suppression of early season Phytophthora seed and root 
rot. Trilex AL Concentrate is a concentrated formulation especially formulated for application using standard slurry or mist-type seed 
treatment equipment. Consult a seed treatment specialist for proper guidelines in using Trilex AL Concentrate to insure uniform 
coverage of seed, thus ensuring seed safety and best disease protection. For commercial and on-farm use.
USE PRECAUTIONS
• When using formulations that do not contain dye, to comply with 40 CFR 153.155, all seed treated with an economic poison 
must be colored to distinguish it and prevent subsequent inadvertent use as a food for man or feed for animals.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATION
For resistance management, please note that Trilex AL Concentrate contains a Group 4 [Phenylamides class] and a Group 11 
[Quinone outside Inhibitors] fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Trilex AL Concentrate and 
other Group 4 or 11 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the 
same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to 
pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease 
development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM 
recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You 
can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
USE RESTRICTION
• Do not use treated seed for food, feed, or oil processing.
• Maximum usage when applying both metalaxyl- and mefenoxam-containing products to the same crop within the same 
season: Do not apply more than the maximum yearly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the 
product containing the lowest yearly total on that crop.
Rice
Apply at a product rate of 1.0 - 2.0 fl. oz. of product per 100 lbs. of seed.
