Field Corn: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments:
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake GAUCHO 600 Flowable thoroughly before use. Dilute GAUCHO 600 
Flowable with water and/or an approved Bayer CropScience fungicide mixture. The final slurry rate should be adjusted to apply a rate 
of 8 - 10 fl. oz. of diluted slurry per 50-pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. Add balance of the seed 
and apply balance of slurry. Allow mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz. of dry TALC per 50-pound bag of see d 
following the GAUCHO 600 Flowable application and allow it to distribute evenly on the seed.

Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale:
To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by aphids (including Bird cherry-oat, English grain, Greenbug, a nd 
Russian wheat aphid), Hessian fly, apply 0.8 to 2.4 fluid ounces per hundredweight of seed prior to planting as a slurry treatm ent. Low 
use rate for "wireworm-only" protection: GAUCHO 600 applied at the 0.13 - 0.26 fl. oz. per hundredweight of seed offers suppres sion of 
wireworm activity on seed and young seedlings. To provide early season protection from grasshopper damage, GAUCHO 600 should 
be applied to seed at 1.2 to 2.4 fluid ounces per hundredweight. To reduce early season damage caused by grasshopper, GAUCHO 
treated seed may be planted as a 50 to 60 foot border around the edges of the field. Consult your local university extension 
entomologist for details regarding grasshopper control in your area. For maximum effectiveness, seed must be treated uniformly . Use 
the higher rate to provide increased length of protection and from heavy insect pressure and from wireworms, and to reduce pote ntial 
spread of Barley yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting.

product for seed and seedling protection against fungal pathogens, as well as insect pests. Dilution with water may be necessa ry 
depending on fungicide formulation used. GAUCHO 600 Flowable may also be applied on-farm as an over-treatment to seed 
pretreated with a fungicide. In this case, dilution is necessary. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after 
planting.
Sorghum, Millet:
To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by Aphids (including Corn leaf, English grain, Greenbug, and Yel low 
sugar cane aphid), Chinch bugs, Fire ants and Wireworms, apply 6.4 fluid ounces per hundredweight of seed prior to planting as a 
slurry treatment. Ensure thorough coverage. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting.
Sorghum, Millet: For End-Use Application At Agricultural Establishments:
Apply using an HCBT or an Eight-Bag Batch Treater. Shake GAUCHO 600 Flowable thoroughly before use. Dilute 3.2 fluid ounces of 
GAUCHO 600 Flowable with water. The final slurry rate must be adjusted to apply a rate of 8 - 10 fluid ounces of diluted slurr y per 50-
pound bag of seed. Treat one-half of seed with one-half of slurry mix. Add the balance of the seed and apply balance of slurr y. Allow 
mixing until seed is thoroughly covered. Apply 0.75 oz. of dry TALC per 50-pound bag of seed following the GAUCHO 600 Flowable 
application and allow it to distribute evenly on the seed. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting.
