contents into application equipment or a mix tank and 
drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. 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> 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining

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 
contents into application equipment or mix tank and con­
tinue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to 
drip. Hold container upside down over application equip­
ment 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 sec­
onds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. 
Refillable Container. Refill this container with

Method of Application 
Seed should be well conditioned and free of chaff before 
treating with CharterA' fungicide seed .treatment. Treated 
seed should not require drying after treatment and can be 
stored or bagged immediately (provided excessive slurry 
volumes are not applied to the seed). Charter may be 
applied using standard commercial seed treatment equip­
ment (such as, but not limited to, slurry or mist-type 
equipment) or on-farm seed treatment equipment. Charter 
may also be used in on-the-go type air seeder treatment 
systems. 
Charter should be applied to barley, oats, rye, triticale, and 
wheat at the rate of 3.1 fluid ounces of product per 
100 pounds of seed. Thorough seed coverage and proper 
application equipment calibration is essential for good dis­
ease control. To achieve thorough coverage, Charter may 
be diluted with water, if needed, into a slurry. Direct appli­
cation into a planter box is prohibited. 
Use Restrictions 
• DO NOT use treated seed for food, feed or oil 
processing. 
• DO NOT store Charter near feed or foodstuffs. 
• DO NOT contaminate feed or foodstuffs . 
• DO NOT contaminate domestic or irrigation waters. 
• DO NOT plant any crop not listed on this label within 
30 days after planting Charter fungicide treated seed. 
TREATED SEED MUST BE LABELED AS FOLLOWS: 
"This seed has been treated with Charter containing 
triticonazole. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil processing. 
DO NOT plant any crop other than barley, oats, rye, 
triticale, or wheat within 30 days after planting Charter 
treated seed." 
DO NOT use the same auger for treating seed that will 
handle commercial or feed grains. 
DO NOT store leftover treated seed where there is a 
chance of it becoming mixed with untreated seed. Store 
treated seed in cool, dry conditions. 
DO NOT allow children, pets, or livestock to have access 
to treated seeds. 
Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt and protective gloves 
when handling treated seed. 
Dispose of seed packaging or containers in accordance 
with local requirements.
