All mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers must wear: 
-long-sleeved shirt and long pants 
-socks plus shoes 
-chemical resistant gloves, 
-chemical resistant aprons when mixing, loading, or participating in dip treatments. 
NOTE: Persons involved in bagging treated seed, sewing or moving bags of treated seed, or cleaning up bagging areas 
or seed treatment equipment are pesticide handlers and must wear the PPE required on this label for pesticide handlers. 
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use 
detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. 
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As 
soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. 
ENGINEERING CONTROLS 
When handlers use closed systems designed by the manufacturer to enclose the pesticide to prevent it from contacting 
handlers or other people and the system is functioning properly and is used and maintained in accordance with the 
manufacturer's written operating instructions, the handlers need not wear the chemical-resistant apron. However, the 
chemical-resistant gloves must be immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment 
breakdown. 
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, oysters, and shrimp. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where 
surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff from treated areas may 
be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or 
disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. Cover or collect spilled seeds. 
Treated seeds are hazardous to fish, birds and mammals. Do not plant treated seeds by broadcasting to the soil surface. 
Ensure that all seeds are thoroughly covered with soil, especially in turn areas. If seeds are not thoroughly incorporated 
by the planter during planting, additional incorporation may be required to thoroughly cover exposed seeds. 
Groundwater Advisory: Metalaxyl is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of 
agricultural use. Use of this product in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water is shallow, may 
result in groundwater contamination.

GENERAL INFORMATION 
STILETIO seed treatment is a ready-to-use product. Apply as a pour-on hopper-box application or through an on-farm 
seed treatment equipment. STILETTO seed treatment combines the systemic action of carboxin and metalaxyl with the

Helminthosporium. Fill planter box or mixing vessel with seed, pour the required amount of STILETTO seed treatment 
evenly on top of seed. Stir thoroughly with a stick or paddle so that all seeds are covered. 
All seed treated with this product must be conspicuously colored at the time of treatment. If this product contains no 
colorant, an appropriate colorant must be added to distinguish seed and to prevent subsequent inadvertent use ad a food 
for man or a feed for animals. Regulations pertaining to coloration of treated seed enforced by 40 CFR 152.'1 ,35 !';lust be 
strictly adhered to when using this product. ' • '. ~ , : ( , ;
