Product Information
• BAS 494 ST is a systemic and biological seed treatment 
that when applied to the seed, aids in protecting the 
seed and seedling against damage caused by early sea-
son plant pathogenic nematodes and promotes plant 
growth.
• The use of BAS 494 ST can protect against early sea-
son infection by Fusarium virguliforme, the causal agent 
of Sudden Death Syndrome, in soybean.
• In areas of high nematode infestation additional control 
measures may be warranted.
Use Restrictions
• For use only in commercial seed treatment equipment.
• Not for use in hopper box, planter box, slurry box, or 
other on-farm seed treatment applications.
• DO NOT use this product except as directed on this 
label or on other BASF supplemental labeling for this 
product.
• DO NOT broadcast plant seeds.
• DO NOT apply more than 0.45 lb ai/A of fluopyram per 
year (including seed treatment, foliar, in-furrow, or band-
ed applications).
• Refer to the specific use directions and restrictions in the 
Detailed Use Directions section.
• This product does not contain colorant. The purchaser of 
this product is responsible for ensuring that all seed 
treated with this product are adequately dyed with a suit-
able color to prevent its accidental use as food for man 
or feed for animals. Refer to 21CFR, Part 2.25. Any 
colorant added to treated seed must be cleared for use 
under 40CFR, Part 153.155.
Fungicide Resistance Management (FRAC) 
For resistance management, BAS 494 ST contains a 
Group 7 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain 
individuals naturally resistant to BAS 494 ST and other 
Group 7 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control 
may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeated-
ly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management 
strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the fol-
lowing steps:
• Rotate the use of BAS 494 ST or other Group 7 fungi-
cides within a growing season sequence with different 
groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicides 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 disease management 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 
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, pesticide distributor, 
or university extension specialist.
Application Instructions
Use BAS 494 ST in commercial seed treatment facilities 
with commercial or professional seed treatment applica-
tion equipment only.
• Use good quality, well-conditioned seed free of chaff.
• Thorough and uniform seed coverage is required for 
optimum performance.
• Apply at specified rates with either seed treatment equip-
ment that has “direct inject” or dedicated pump 
capabilities or in a water-based mixture using standard 
slurry seed treatment application equipment. Consult a 
seed treatment specialist about crop-specific slurry rates 
and seed treatment calibration and operation proce-
dures. If applying in a water-based mixture mix only as 
much product as is needed for immediate application to 
seed.

5
Tank Mixing Other Products
• BAS 494 ST can be used in combination with other reg-
istered BASF seed treatment fungicides and insecticides. 
Pretest for compatibility with other seed treatment 
products.
• It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all 
products are registered for the intended use. Read and 
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and 
directions 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.
Compatibility Test
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility 
jar test.
1. In a clean quart jar containing 1/2 the intended amount 
of water for a final slurry application rate, add the labeled 
rate of BAS 494 ST and follow with all intended tank 
mix components.
2. Add remaining balance of water. Total slurry volume 
depends on seed size and complete, uniform coverage 
of the seed, as well as the commercial seed treating 
application equipment used.
3. Mix well and allow to sit for one hour.
4. Evaluate - DO NOT use mixtures that curdle, precipi-
tate, or gel.
Mixing Instructions
When applied with seed treatment application equipment 
designed to treat seed utilizing a treatment slurry mixture:
• Add approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the required water to the 
treatment slurry tank followed by the accompanying 
seed treatment products and BAS 494 ST.
• The order of product addition is dependent on the 
accompanying seed treatment products and application 
equipment used.
• Allow each slurry component to disperse completely 
prior to the next addition until a uniform suspension is 
obtained.
• After all slurry components have been added and dis-
persed completely, add the remaining 1/2 to 1/3 of 
required water for proper slurry volume and mix until 
uniform.
• DO NOT store mixed slurries for greater than 72 hours.
• Maintain adequate agitation until treatment slurry is 
applied.
• For additional instructions for use, slurry component mix-
ing order, and other application suggestions contact your 
BASF representative.
