or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff may be hazardous to
aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.  Do not contaminate water when
disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.  Treated seed exposed on soil surface
may be hazardous to wildlife.  Cover or collect seed spilled during loading.
This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner
inconsistent with its labeling.
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 except for
potato seed pieces.
The Agricultural Use Requirements statements below are specific to the potato
seed piece use.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and 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 agricultural pesticides.  It contains requirements for
training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance.  It also contains
specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label
about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry interval.  The
requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the
Worker Protection Standard.  Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas
during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.  Exception: If the product is
soil-injected or soil-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 reentry 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 made of any waterproof material, and shoes
plus socks.

Apply 0.31 fl oz
per 100 lbs of seed

Maximum number
of application per
year is 3.
For disease control, good coverage of
the seed piece is required.
Apply specified dosage as a diluted
spray slurry using equipment that
ensures uniform coverage of each
seed piece.  Do not apply more than
2.5 fl oz of slurry / 100 lbs of seed
pieces. Apply only in areas with
adequate ventilation or in areas that
are equipped to remove spray mist
or dust.
As part of the seed cutting and
treating process, application of an inert
absorbent ingredient is recommended
to improve suberization.  For added
Fusarium protection apply a Mancozeb
containing product specifically
designed for application to potatoes in
place of the inert absorbent.
Do not use treated seed pieces for
food, feed, or fodder.
Do not exceed more than 0.143 lbs of
active ingredient/A (65 g ai/A) per crop
season for seed piece treatment.
