2 Precautionary Statements Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing spray mist. Causes moderate eye irritation. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Applicators and other handlers must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Chemical-resistant gloves (barrier laminate, butyl rubber /unif0b314 mils, nitrile rubber /unif0b314 mils, neoprene rubber /unif0b314 mils, or viton /unif0b314 mils) • Shoes plus socks Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Environmental Hazards This pesticide 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 to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. This product may impact surface water quality because of runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. Groundwater Advisory This chemical has properties and characteristics associat- ed with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. Surface Water Advisory This product is classified as having high potential for reach- ing aquatic sediment via runoff for several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shal- low water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this active ingre- dient or its degradates from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applica- tion when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s potential to reach aquatic sediment via runoff. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after han- dling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. • Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. • Remove clothing/PPE immediately after handling this product. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. FIRST AID If swallowed • Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. • Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. • DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. • DO NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If inhaled • Move person to fresh air. • If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance; then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth to mouth, if possible. • Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.

Product Information Relenya® fungicide is a broad- spectrum liquid seed treat- ment fungicide that protects specified seed and seedlings from certain seedborne and soilborne diseases. Refer to Detailed Use Directions for specific crop uses and diseases controlled or suppressed. 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. Use the higher specified rates of Relenya ® fungicide when disease is expected to be high. Mode of Action Mefentrifluconazole, the active ingredient in Relenya® fungicide, inhibits demethylation of sterol biosynthesis (DMI), which disrupts cell membrane synthesis and is classified by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) as a Group 3 fungicide. Resistance Management For resistance management, Relenya® fungicide contains a Group 3 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Relenya® fungicide and other Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance- management strategies should be followed. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of Relenya ® fungicide or other Group 3 fungicides within a growing season sequence with differ- ent 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 scouting, 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 chem- ical 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 treatment area for lack of biological efficacy that might indicate possible resistance development. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance- management and/or Integrated Pest Management (IPM) recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. • For further information or to report suspected resistance consult your local BASF representative, extension spe- cialist, or certified crop advisor. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued) Container Handling (continued) Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide only. DO NOT reuse this container for any other purpose. Triple rinsing the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller. Triple rinse as follows: To clean the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the container about 10% full with water. Agitate vigorously or recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collec- tion system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more times. When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all openings that have been opened during use; return the container to the point of purchase or to a designated location. This container must only be refilled with a pesti- cide product. Prior to refilling, inspect carefully for damage such as cracks, punctures, abrasions, worn-out threads and closure devices. Check for leaks after refilling and before transport. DO NOT transport if this container is damaged or leaking. If the container is damaged, or leak- ing, or obsolete and not returned to the point of purchase or to a designated location, triple rinse emptied container and offer for recycling, if available, or dispose of container in compliance with state and local regulations.
5 Application Instructions • Use Relenya® fungicide in commercial seed treatment facilities and on-farm systems with commercial or profes- sional seed treatment application equipment only. • Restriction: DO NOT apply with planting application equipment (e.g. hopper box, planter box, slurry box, and on-farm seed treaters, etc.). • Use good quality, well-conditioned seed free of chaff. • Thorough and uniform seed coverage is required for opti- mum performance. • Mix only as much product as is needed for immediate application to seed. Apply at specified rates. • Apply the water-based mixture using standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment application equipment. Consult a seed treatment specialist about crop-specific slurry rates and seed treatment calibration and operation procedures. Use Restriction: When using formulations that do not contain dye, to comply with 40 CFR 153.155, all seed treated with a pesticide must be colored to distinguish and prevent subsequent inadvertent use as a food for man or feed for animals.
