facility. 
Container Handling 
Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this 
container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container 
(or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for 
recycling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or 
puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incin­
eration, or by other procedures approved by state and 
local authorities. 
Triple rinse containers small enough to shake 
(capacity ~ 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining 
contents into application equipment or a mix tank and 
drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill

tainer on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at 
least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. 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 appli­
cation 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 and continue 
to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold 
container upside down over application equipment or mix 
tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert

pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collec­
tion system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more 
times. 
When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all 
openings that have been opened during use; return the 
container to the point of purchase or to a designated

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 agricu~ural pesticides. It 
contains requirements for training, decontamination, 
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains 
specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the

incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under 
certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the 
treated area if there will be no contact with anything that 
has been treated. 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, shoes plus socks, protective

prior to planting as a slurry treatment. Low use rate for 
"wireworm-only" protection: Axcess applied at the 0.13 to 
0.26 flo oz. per hundredweight of seed offers suppression 
of wireworm activity on seed and young seedlings. To 
provide early season protection from grasshopper 
damage, apply Axcess to seed at 1.2 to 2.4 fluid ounces 
per hundredweight. To reduce early season damage 
caused by grasshopper, Axcess treated seed may be 
planted as a 50- to 60-foot border around the edges of 
the field. Consult your local university extension 
entomologist for details regarding grasshopper control in 
your area. For maximum effectiveness, seed must be 
treated uniformly. Use the higher rate to provide increased 
length of protection and from heavy insect pressure and 
from wireworms, and to reduce potential spread of Barley 
yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors. DO NOT graze or 
feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. 
Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale 
For End-Use Application At Agricultural 
Establishments: 
Apply using a Total Slurry Treater (fST), Farmer Applied 
Seed Treater (FAS.T.), Air Pressure System or other on­
farm seed treating equipment to deliver accurate rates of 
Axcess to achieve optimum product performance. Apply 
0.8 to 2.4 flo oz. per hundredweight of seed. Axcess 
should be combined with a BASF Corporation fungicide 
product for seed and seedling protection against fungal 
pathogens, as well as insect pests. Dilution with water 
may be necessary depending on fungicide formulation 
used. Axcess may also be applied on-farm as an over­
treatment to seed pretreated with a fungicide. In this case, 
dilution is necessary. DO NOT graze or feed livestock on 
treated areas for 45 days after planting. 
Sorghum, Millet 
To provide early season protection of seedlings against 
injury by Aphids (including Corn leaf, English grain, 
Greenbug, and Yellow sugar cane aphid), Chinch bugs, 
Fire ants and Wireworms, apply 6.4 fluid ounces per 
hundredweight of seed prior to planting as a slurry 
treatment. Ensure thorough coverage. DO NOT graze or 
feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting. 
Sorghum, Millet 
For End-Use Application At Agricultural 
Establishments: 
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. 
Shake Axcess thoroughly before use. Dilute 3.2 fluid 
ounces ofAxcess with water. The final slurry rate must be 
6 
adjusted to apply a rate of 8 to 10 fluid ounces of diluted 
slurry per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed 
with one-half of slurry mix. Add the balance of the seed 
and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is 
thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz. of dry TALC per 
50-pound bag of seed following the Axcess application 
and allow it to distribute evenly on the seed. DO NOT 
graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after 
planting. 
Cotton (Delinted Seed Only) 
To provide protection of seedlings against injury by early 
season thrips and aphids, and where the specific 
application rate is desired on an individual seed basis 
apply at 0.375 mg. ai. per seed (DO NOT apply more than 
12.8 fluid ounces per hundredweight of seed) prior to 
planting as a slurry treatment so as to ensure thorough 
coverage. Otherwise, apply at 12.8 fluid ounces per 
hundredweight of seed. Regardless of the type of 
application (seed treatment, soil or foliar) DO NOT apply 
more than a total of 0.5 lb. of imidacloprid per acre per 
cropping cycle. 
Cotton (Delinted Seed Only) 
For End-Use Application At Agricultural 
Establishments: 
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. 
Shake Axcess thoroughly before use. Dilute 6.4 fluid 
ounces ofAxcess with water or a ready-to-use fungicide 
mixture for each 50-pound bag of cottonseed to be 
treated. The final slurry rate must be adjusted to apply a 
rate of 8 to 10 fluid ounces of diluted slurry per 50-pound 
bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry 
mix. Add the balance of the seed and apply balance of 
slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. 
Sugar Beets 
To provide early season protection of seedlings against 
injury by Whitefly, Aphids, Leafhoppers (including to reduce 
potential for spread of Curly top and Yellow mosaic virus 
due to aphid and leafhopper vectors), Root aphid, Thrips 
and Wireworms, apply as a commercial seed treatment at 
2.4 to 5.0 fluid ounces ofAxcess in or on a un~ of 
pelleted sugar beet seed with a weight ratio of 2:1 
pelleting mixture to raw seed (seed count 100,000 seed -
approximately 1 kilogram by weight). Apply in a film coat 
directly to raw seed (100,000 seed or approximately 
1 kilogram by weight) at a rate of 2.4 fluid ounces per unit 
of seed. If rates exceed 2.4 fluid ounces per un~, seed 
must be pelleted.

Popcorn 
To provide early season.protection of seedlings against 
injury by flea beetles, apply as a commercial seed 
treatment at 6.4 fl. oz. per hundredweight of seed. 
Soybean 
For protection of planted seeds from damage caused by 
seed corn maggot, to reduce feeding damage caused by 
soybean aphids and over-wintering bean leaf beetles, and 
to help suppress the spread of certain viruses, apply 1.6 
to 3.2 fl. oz. per hundredweight of seed. Use higher rates 
to provide increased length of protection and for heavy 
insect pressure. Axcess can be used as an over­
treatment. DO NOT graze or feed livestock on soybean 
forage or hay.
