Environmental Hazards
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. 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 intertidal areas below the mean high
water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when cleaning
equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or
rinsate.
DO NOT discharge effluent containing this product into
lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters
unless in accordance with the requirements of a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
and the permitting authority has been notified in writing
prior to discharge. DO NOT discharge effluent containing
this product to sewer systems without previously notifying
the local sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance,
contact your State Water Board or the regional office of the
EPA.
Treated seed exposed on soil surface may be hazardous
to wildlife. Cover or collect seeds spilled during loading
and planting, such as in row ends. If treated seed is spilled
outdoors or in areas accessible to birds or endangered
species, promptly clean up and dis pose of properly to pre-
vent ingestion. Dispose of all excess treated seed by
burying seed away from bodies of water.
Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to run-
off of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is
classified as having high potential for reaching surface
water via runoff for several months or more after applica-
tion. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip
between areas to which this product is applied and sur-
face water features including ponds, streams, and springs
will reduce the potential loading of pyraclostrobin from run-
off water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation
is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion

Product Information
Stamina® F4 Cereals fungicide seed treatment is a
broad-spectrum liquid fungicide that protects seed and
seedlings from certain seed and soilborne diseases result-
ing in improved plant health. Stamina F4 Cereals
increases emergence and plant stands by controlling or
suppressing these diseases. See Stamina
® F4 Cereals
fungicide seed treatment Crop-specific Use
Directions for crop uses and diseases controlled or sup-
pressed by Stamina F4 Cereals . Disease symptoms
such as seed rot, seedling rot, seedling blight, root rot, and
damping-off (preemergence or postemergence) can be
associated with the actions of various fungal pathogens.
These symptoms are referred to in Stamina
® F4 Cereals
fungicide seed treatment Crop-specific Use
Directions as “seed and seedling disease”.
Seed treatment applications with Stamina F4 Cereals
have been associated with more rapid and increased
emergence of seedlings under certain cold conditions.
Use the higher specified or labeled rates of Stamina F4
Cereals when disease pressure is expected to be high.
Stamina F4 Cereals contains an EPA-approved dye that
imparts an unnatural color to the treated seed to prevent
its accidental use as a food or feed for animals. Refer to
21 CFR, Part 2.25.
Mode of Action
Stamina F4 Cereals contains four active ingredients from
different fungicide groups that have distinct modes of
action.
• Pyraclostrobin is classified as a Target Site of Action
Group 11 fungicide.
• Fluxapyroxad is classified as a Target Site of Action
Group 7 fungicide.
• Triticonazole is classified as a Target Site of Action
Group 3 fungicide.
• Metalaxyl is classified as a Target Site of Action Group 4
fungicide.
Due to the minimal amount of Stamina F4 Cereals
applied to the seed that relocates to the upper parts of the
plant and the multiple modes of action, the potential for
development of resistance is extremely low. Seed treat-
ments of Stamina F4 Cereals can therefore be followed
by foliar use and resistance management guidelines of foli-
ar use fungicides containing the same modes of action as
specified on the respective labels.
Resistance Management
Stamina F4 Cereals contains a Group 3 (triticonazole),
Group 4 (metalaxyl), Group 7 (fluxapyroxad), and
Group 11 (pyraclostrobin) fungicide. Any fungal population
may contain individuals naturally resistant to Stamina F4
Cereals and other Group 3, Group 4, Group 7 and/or
Group 11 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest con-
trol may occur over time if these fungicides are used
repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance
5
mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but specif-
ic for individual chemicals, including enhanced
metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-
management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the fol-
lowing steps:
• Rotate the use of Stamina
® F4 Cereals fungicide seed
treatment or other Group 3, Group 4, Group 7, and
Group 11 fungicides within a growing season sequence
with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group
that are equally effective on the target pest when such
use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application
rate as labeled by the manufacturer.
• Adopt an integrated pest management (IPM) program for
fungicide use that includes scou ting, uses historical infor-
mation related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and
which considers host plant resistance, impact of environ-
mental conditions on disease development, disease
thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other
chemical control practices.
• Where possible, make use of predictive disease models
to effectively time fungicide applications. Note that using
predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage
resistance.
• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance devel-
opment. Monitor the efficacy of all fungicides used in the
disease management program against the targeted
pathogen and record other factors that may influence
fungicide performance and/or disease development.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop
advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-
management and/or IPM recommendations for specific
crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance,
contact your BASF representative, local extension spe-
cialist, or certified crop advisor.
Application Instructions
Stamina F4 Cereals can be used in commercial seed
treatment facilities and on-farm systems. DO NOT apply
directly into planter box. For use with commercial or pro-
fessional seed treatment application equipment only.
Seed must be of a good quality, well conditioned, and free
of chaff before treatment.
Prepare no more mixture of Stamina F4 Cereals than is
needed for immediate application to seed. Refer to the
Tank Mixing Information section of this label. Apply
Stamina F4 Cereals at the rates listed in Stamina
® F4
Cereals fungicide seed treatment Crop-specific Use
Directions as a water-based mixture using standard slur-
ry or mist-type seed treatment application equipment. The
exact amount of water needed to provide the mixture or
slurry rate for uniform and complete coverage of the seed
surface is difficult to predict because weather conditions,
seed type and surface, and equipment used all have a
bearing on coverage. Thorough seed coverage and proper
application equipment calibration are essential for good
disease control. Consult a seed treatment specialist
regarding slurry rates for the crop seed to be treated with
Stamina F4 Cereals and for calibration and operation
procedures of the seed treatment equipment.
Tank Mixing Information
Tank Mix Partners
When using Stamina F4 Cereals in a tank mixture with
other seed treatment products, follow all directions for use,
crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, restric-
tions, and limitations on the tank mix partner label.
DO NOT exceed label dosage or application rate. The
most restrictive label precautions, restrictions, and limita-
tions must be followed. Stamina F4 Cereals must not be
mixed with any product that prohibits such mixing.
Compatibility Test for Tank Mix
Components
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all
products are registered for the intended use. Read and
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and direc-
tions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing.
Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use
and precautionary statements of each product in the tank
mixture.
When tank mixing Stamina F4 Cereals , always test com-
patibility before use by performing a jar test as follows:
1. Add all intended seed treatment products and the
appropriate amount of water in a clear glass jar.
2. Mix well and allow to sit for one hour.
3. Remix and observe for physical incompatibility.
Also test with the seed to ensure the combination of tank
mix products does not have detrimental effects on the
seed.
Mixing Order
For containers 5 gallons or less, shake well before use. For
containers greater than 5 gallons, recirculate before use.
1. Water - Add 3/4 of the required volume of water to the
mix tank and turn on agitation.
2. Agitation - Mechanical agitation is required for proper
mixing of Stamina F4 Cereals .
3. Dye or colorant
4. Wettable powders
5. Soluble powders
6. Flowable formulations (such as Stamina F4
Cereals)
7. Emulsifiable concentrates
8. Water - Remaining 1/4 of required water volume is
added last and can be used as rinsate for the chemical
container or to adjust the total slurry to compensate for
water displacement by powdered products.
Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been
used.
Ensure seed is dry before bagging.

hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect treated seeds
spilled during loading and planting, such as in row
ends and field corners.
• Plant treated seed into the soil to the recommended
minimum depth or greater to minimize exposure.
• DO NOT plant treated seed by broadcasting to the soil
surface. Ensure that all planted seeds are thoroughly
incorporated by the planter during planting; additional
incorporation may be required to thoroughly cover
exposed seeds.
• Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed
away from bodies of water.
• DO NOT contaminate bodies of water when disposing
of planting equipment wash water.
• Dispose of seed packaging or containers in accor-
dance with local requirements.

• Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact
surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is
especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with
shallow groundwater. This product is classified as hav-
ing high potential for reaching surface water via runoff
for several months or more after application. A level,
well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas
to which this product is applied and surface water fea-
tures including ponds, streams, and springs will
reduce the potential loading of pyraclostrobin from
runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will
be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or
irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound
erosion control practices will reduce this products
contribution to surface water contamination.
• Groundwater Advisory: Pyraclostrobin ,
metalaxyl and fluxapyroxad are known to leach
through soil into groundwater under certain conditions
as a result of label use. These chemicals may leach
into groundwater if used in areas where soils are per-
meable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
• In the event of crop failure or harvest of a crop grown
from this seed, the field may be replanted immediately
with barley, oats, rye, triticale and wheat or any other
crop for which tolerances for pyraclostrobin ,
fluxapyroxad , triticonazole, and metalaxyl exist.
For all other crops, the minimum plant back interval is
12 months from the date this seed was planted. A
cover crop without these tolerances may be planted
for purposes of erosion control or soil improvement;
however, the crop may not be grazed or harvested for
food or feed.
