Your amended label associated with Decision #408618 adding the previously approved 
cotton use, product application dated December 15,2008 
Dear Dr. Akarri, 
The amendment referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under FIFRA, as amended 
has been reviewed and is acceP!3-ble upon the following changes: 
1. On page 2, add the title "User Safety Requirements," above "Follow the manufacturer's 
instructions for cleaning ........ " In addition, add the word "exists," after "washables." 
2. On page 3, place the "Storage and Disposal" section inside a text box. 
3. On page 4, second column, under "DO NOT" delete the last sentence "Use with an EPA 
approved dye that imparts an unnatural color to the seed." The seed should already be dyed 
prior to bagging, and is therefore unnecessary. . 
A copy of the label stamped "Accepted with Comments" is enclosed for your records. Please submit one 
copy of the final printed label incorporating these changes before the product is released for shipping. 
If you have any questions, please contact Bryant Crowe by phone at (703) 305-0025 or via email.at

CONTAINER DISPOSAL 
Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this 
container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or 
equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recy­
cling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or punc­
ture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, 
or by other procedures approved by state and local 
authorities. 
Triple rinse containers small enough to shake 
(capacity S; 50 pounds) as follows: Empty the remain­
ing contents into application equipment or a mix tank. 
Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 
10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a 
mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain 
for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this 
procedure two more times. 
Triple rinse containers too large to shake (capacity 
> 50 pounds) as follows: Empty the remaining con­
tents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the 
container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten clo­
sures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, 
ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 sec­
onds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and 
forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other 
end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the 
rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store 
rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure 
two more times. 
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining con­
tents into application equipment or mix tank. Hold con­
tainer upside down over application equipment or mix 
tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert 
pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and 
rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

containers for disposal. Remove contaminated clothing 
and wash affected skin areas with water. Wash clothing 
before reuse. Keep spill out of all sewers and open bodies 
of water. 
General Information 
This package contains BAS 516 ST seed treatment 
fungicide, a water-dispersible granule (WG). BAS 516 ST 
is a broad-spectrum fungicide that provides preventive 
seed and seedling protection against seed borne fungi 
causing seed decay and the soilborne pathogens 
Rhizoctonia so/ani, Penicillium spp. and Fusarium spp. 
BAS 516 ST may be applied in conjunction with applica­
tions of other registered seed treatment and crop protec­
tion products. Make all applications according to the use 
directions in this label. Use the higher rates of 
BAS 516 STwhen disease pressure is expected to be 
high. 
Resistance Management 
The active ingredients in BAS 516 ST, boscalid and 
pyrac!ostrobin, belong to the groups of respiration 
inhibitors classified by the EPA as Carboxamides and 
Quinone Outside Inhibitors (001) or Target Site of 
Action Group 7 and Target Site of Action Group 11 
fungicides, respectively. Due to the minimal amounts of 
active ingredient in BAS 516 ST applied to the seed that 
relocate to the upper parts of the plant, the potential for 
development of resistance to both fungicides is extremely 
low. Seed treatments of BAS 516 ST can, therefore, be 
followed by foliar use and resistance management 
guidelines of foliar use fungicides containing boscalid, 
pyraclostrobin, or both (Cabrio~ EG fungicide, Endura~ 
fungicide, Headline~ fungicide, or Pristine~ fungicide) 
as specified on the respective labels. 
Application Instructions 
For use on "crop" seed at commercial treatmAnt far;ilities. 
Not for use on farm. ' ; . \ , ,

Seed must be sound and well cleaned prior t6 treatment. 
The purchaser of BAS 516 ST seed treatment fungicide 
is responsible for ensuring that all seed treated with this 
product are adequately dyed with a suitable color to pre­
vent its accidental use as food for man or feed for animals. 
Refer to 21 CFR, Part 2.25 and 40CFR 153.155(b)(1). Use 
an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatur­
al color to the seed. Any dye or colorant added to treated 
seed must be cleared for use under 40CFR, Part 180.900, 
. "Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance". 
Federal regulations have established official tolerances or 
exemptions from tolerances for residues on food and for­
age crops that should not be exceeded when the product 
(dye or colorant) is used at labeled rates. 
Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibration and 
operation procedures of the seed treatment equipment 
being used. Mechanical agitation is required for proper 
mixing of BAS 516 ST. Prepare no more mixture of 
BAS 516 ST than is needed for immediate treating. Add 
3/4 of the required volume of water to the mix tank. With 
agitation running, add the required amount of BAS 516 ST 
in the tank along with other seed treatment components. 
Add the remaining 1/4 of the required water. Follow the 
mixing sequence listed below. Agitate thoroughly before 
and during application. 
BAS 516 ST With Tank Mix Partners 
BAS 516 ST mixes easily with water and other water­
based seed treatments manufactured by BASF 
Corporation. When using BAS 516 ST in a tank mixture 
with other seed treatment products, observe all directions 
for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, 
and limitations that appear on the tank mix partner label. 
No label dosage or application rate should be exceeded, 
and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations 
should be followed. BAS 516 ST should not be mixed 
with any product that prohibits such mixing. All 
applications should be made according to the use 
directions. 
When mixing BAS 516 ST with products from other 
manufacturers, the compatibility should be tested prior to 
use by conducting a jar test as follows: 
1 . Mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriate 
amount of water in a clear glass container. 
2. Mix well and allow to sit for one hour. 
3. Remix and observe for incompatibility. 
Physical compatibility is only part of compatibility. Testing 
also needs to be done with the seed to make sure the 
combination of products does not have detrimental effects 
on the seed. 
Tank Mixing Instructions 
1. Add 3/4 of the required amount of water to the mix tank 
and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is pre­
ferred. 
2. Follow the following mixing sequence: dye or colorant, 
wettable powders, soluble powders, flowable formula­
tions, emulsifiable concentrates, and remaining 1/4 of 
the required water. The 1/4 of the required water as the 
last item for addition to the premix tank can be used as 
rinsate for the chemical container or to adjust the total 
slurry to compensate for water displacement by pow­
dered products. 
3. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been 
used. 
4. Ensure that seed is dry prior to bagging. 
NOTE: Federal law requires that bags of treated seeds 
shall be labeled with the following: "This seed has been 
treated with boscalid and pyraclostrobin fungicides. 
DO NOT use for food, feed or oil purposes. Store away 
from food and feedstuffs. Use with an EPA-approved dye 
that imparts an unnatural color to the seed."
