DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with it labeling. 
Read entire label before using this product. 
For use only in commercial seed treatment equipment. 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 conspicuously coloured colored at the time of treatment. This product contains no colorant. 
An appropriate EPA-approved colorant must be added when this product is applied to seed to distinguish and prevent subsequent

must be strictly adhered to when using this product. 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
Yield Shield 200 FS is a biological seed treatment that, when applied to seed, colonizes the developing root system and provides early 
season protection from soilborne fungi belonging to the genera Rhizoctonia and Fusarium that attack the root system. Through a mode 
of action in which the plant's own host resistance is activated, biological protection is achieved which frequently results in more uniform 
and improved plant stand, plant health and yield. Yield Shield 200 FS is recommended for use with Bayer CropScience seed applied 
insecticides and fungicides for complete pest protection. 
FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT 
Apply Yield Shield 200 FS as a water-based slurry either alone or with other registered seed treatment insecticides and fungicides 
through standard slurry or mist commercial seed treatment equipment. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and 
precautions of all products used in mixtures. 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
To mix, add 1/2 of the required water to the treatment slurry tank, followed by the accompanying seed applied insecticides/fungicides 
prior to adding Yield Shield 200 FS. Add the remaining 1/2 amount of water to the slurry. Allow each component to disperse completely 
prior to the next addition until a uniform suspension is obtained. Do not store mixed slurries for greater than 72 hours. For additional 
instructions for use or mixing, contact your Bayer CropScience representative for further guidelines for mixing and slurry storage 
instructions.
