DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
- Use this product only as a commercial seed treatment.
- Treated seed must not be used for or mixed with food or animal feed, or processed for oil.
- DuPont™ DPX-LEM17 250FS seed treatment must be used only in accordance with the directions for use on this label.
- Treating significantly damaged seed or seed that is low vigor or overall poor quality may result in reduced germination,
seedling vigor and plant stand. Before treating an entire seed lol with the proposed seed treatment, treat a small portion of
the seed lot and conduct subsequent germination tests. DuPont makes no guarantee regarding the germination of damaged
or carry-over treated seed, since seed quality and storage conditions are beyond the control of DuPont.
DPX-LEM17 250FS is a seed treatment fungicide which, when used as directed, provides protection against listed soil-borne
and seed-borne diseases of canola, com and soybeans. DPX-LEM17 250FS will protect against diseases caused by Rhitoc-
tonia solani, Fusarium, and Alternaria species. Use tank mixtures with other appropriate fungicides to control these diseases
or to otherwise extend the control spectrum (see Tank Mixing).
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
DPX-LEM17 250FS (penthiopyrad) is one of EPA's Target Site of Action Group 7 fungicides (carboxamides). A disease
management program that includes rotation and/or tank mixing with non-Group 7 fungicides is essential to reduce the risk of
fungicide resistance development.
APPLICATION AND MIXING GUIDANCE
Mixing Procedures
DPX-LEM17 250FS is for use in commercial seed treaters only, operating standard, calibrated seed treatment equipment.
This product is not for use on agricultural establishments in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box or other seed treatment
applications at or immediately before planting. Treatment equipment must be clean and free of previous pesticide deposits
before applying DPX-LEM17 250FS. Add DPX-LEM17 250FS directly to the mixing tank. Mix thoroughly the recom-
mended amount of DPX-LEM17 250FS with the required amount of water. If available on the application equipment, DPX-
LEM17 250FS can be applied directly through dedicated application modules.
Add an EPA approved dye or colorant to treat the seeds per 40 CFR 153.155(b)(l) during the seed treatment process. Ensure
that all treated seed are dyed an unnatural color.
Tank Mixing
DPX-LEM17 250FS seed treatment fungicide may be applied as a water-based slurry with other registered seed treatment
materials, such as fungicides, insecticides, or micronutrients, for the crop being treated. Potential mixing partners should be
tested for physical compatibility with DPX-LEM17 250FS and added dyes and polymers before mixing in a large tank for
seed treatment. Avoid mixing several materials in very concentrated spray slurries. Observe the most restrictive label limita-
tions and precautions of all products used in mixtures. Do not mix this product with any product that prohibits such mixing.
Mixing Tank Cleanout
Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly
clean all mixing equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits, which might become difficult to remove.
Canola, Rapeseed
For protection against seed-borne and soil-borne Rhizoctonia, Fusarium spp., and Alternaria spp. that cause seed rot,
seedling blight, damping-off or blackleg, apply 1.23 - 3.07 fl oz per 100 Ib seed. The maximum use rate for DPX-LEM17
250FS as a seed treatment in canola is 0.064 ounces active ingredient per acre.
DuPont™ VERTISAN™ fungicide may be used in-season in canola for control of Alternaria blackspot and Sclerotinia stem
rot/white mold. When DPX-LEM17 250FS is used as a seed treatment for canola, make no more than two in-season foliar
applications of VERTISAN™. Do not apply more than 0.004 pound of active ingredient per acre (0.064 oz a.i./acre) when

used as a seed treatment. For example, if applying at 3.07 fl oz cwt seed, do not seed more than 8 Ibs of seed per acre. The
maximum use rate from seed treatment plus foliar treatments must not exceed 8.6 ounces of active ingredient per acre.
Field Corn, Seed Corn, Sweet Corn, Pop Corn
For protection against seed-borne or soil-borne Rhizoctonia and Fusarium spp. that cause seed rot, seedling blight, or
damping-off, apply 0.163 - 0.488 fl oz of DuPont™ DPX-LEM17 250FS per 80,000 kernel count of seed using the rate table
below as a guide. Use a lower rate when less disease pressure is expected, and a higher rate for more disease pressure. The
maximum use rate for DPX-LEM17 250FS as a seed treatment in com is 0.063 ounces active ingredient per acre.
DuPont™ VERTISAN™ may be used in-season in com for control of Anthracnose leal" blight, gray leaf spot, leal" spots,
northern corn leaf blight, northern corn leaf spot, rusts, southern corn leaf blight, and Physoderma brown spot. When DPX-
LEM17 250FS is used as a seed treatment for com, make no more than two in-season foliar applications of VERTISAN™.
Do not apply more than 0.004 pound of active ingredient per acre (0.063 oz a.i./acre) when used as a seed treatment. For
example, if applying at 0.488 fl oz/ 80,000 kernel count, do not seed more than 40,000 seeds per acre. The maximum use rate
from seed treatment plus foliar treatments must not exceed 10 ounces of active ingredient per acre.
