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-YT669 250FS seed treatment must be used only in accordance with the directions for use on this label or
separately published DuPont instructions.
DuPont will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner not specifically
stated on this label or other instructions published by DuPont. User assumes all risks associated with such non-labeled use. 
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 lot 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. 
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 State or
Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
DPX-YT669 250FS is a seed treatment fungicide which, when used as directed, provides protection against certain soil-borne
and seed-borne diseases of canola, corn and soybeans. DPX-YT669 250FS will protect against diseases caused by Rhizoc-
tonia solani, Fusarium, and Alternaria species. Use tank mixtures with other appropriate fungicides to extend the control
spectrum (see Tank Mixing). 
RESISTANCE
DPX-YT669 250FS, which contains the active ingredient picoxystrobin, is a Group 11 fungicide based on the mode of action
classification system of the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee of Croplife International. A disease management
program that includes rotation and/or tank mixing with fungicides that have a different mode of action is essential to reduce
the risk of fungicide resistance development. 
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This
Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and
handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assis-
tance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on the label about personal protective
equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry interval, and notification to workers (as applicable). The requirements in this box only
apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. 
Exception: Once the seeds are planted in soil, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to
enter the treated area without restriction if there will be no worker contact with the soil subsurface or treated seed.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact
with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: coveralls; chemical-resistant gloves made of any water-
proof material such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride; shoes and socks.
ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS
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 product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates, including shrimp and oysters. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to inter-
tidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove
clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immedi-
ately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and put
on clean clothing.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Mixing Procedures 
DuPont™ DPX-YT669 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-YT669 250FS. Add DPX-YT669 250FS directly to the mixing tank. Mix thoroughly the
recommended amount of DPX-YT669 250FS with the required amount of water. If available on the application equipment,
DPX-YT669 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)(1) during the seed treatment process. Ensure
that all treated seed are dyed an unnatural color. 
Seed Treatment Mixtures
The crop safety of all seed treatment mixtures with DPX-YT669 250FS which may include physically compatible seed treatment
labeled pesticides, adjuvants, and/or additives has not been tested. When considering the use of a seed treatment mixture without prior
experience, or which is not specifically described on DPX-YT669 250FS product labeling or in other DuPont product use instruction,
it is important to understand seed and crop safety. To test for seed and crop safety prepare a small volume of the intended seed
treatment mixture, apply it to a sampling of seed as directed by both this and the seed treatment mix partner product labels, and
observe the germination and growth of the crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response does not occur. DuPont will not be responsible
for any germination failure or crop injury arising from the use of a seed treatment mixture that is not specifically described on DPX-
YT669 250FS product labeling or in other DuPont product use instruction.
Always follow the seed treatment instructions of the product label that is most restrictive.
Physical Compatibility
DPX-YT669 250FS is physically compatible with many commonly used seed treatment fungicides, nematicides, insecticides, biolog-
ical control products and additives. However, since the formulations of products change, it is important to test the physical compati-
bility of desired seed treatment mixtures and check for undesirable physical effects, including settling out, gumming or flocculation.
To determine physical compatibility, add the proportions of all the seed treatment ingredients to a small container, mix thoroughly and
allow to stand for 20 minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be re-mixed readily, it may be considered physically compat-
ible.
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. Dispose of rinse water in
accordance with local regulations.
Use Rates and Directions
Canola, Rapeseed, Mustard (oil and condiment varieties) 
For protection against seed-borne and soil-borne Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp.and Leptosphaeria maculansthat
cause seed rot, seedling blight, damping-off or blackleg, apply 0.19 to 0.62 fl oz per 100 lb seed following the specific instruction in
the Canola, Rapeseed and Mustard rate table. Use the higher rate in areas with a history of high disease pressure, or where extended
early season control is required and/or field conditions favour seed and soil-borne pathogens.
