hazardous to birds. In the event that treated seeds are spilled and cannot be salvaged, completely cover them with soil. 
Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. 
Groundwater Advisory: Metalaxyl is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of 
--agticulturar-use-:-Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly wh-ere the water table is sh'all6w, 
may result in groundwater contamination. Apply this product only as specified on this label.
