GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Seed Treatment

• This product does not adversely affect germination.

• When Rhizobium cultures (inoculum) are added to seed, apply the fungicide first, allow it to dry, then apply the inoculum prior to sowing.

• Seed treatment controls Black Spot, Fusarium spp., Ascochyta spp., and Botrytis cinerea pathogens present in pea seed.

• It provides early protection to young pea plants from external Black Spot infections.

• Seed treatment may alter seed flow characteristics. Calibrate the drill using treated seed before seeding.

• Stored seed may lose viability, especially in hot or damp conditions.

• FAIRGRO OPTI has no adverse effect on seed viability or seedling vigor for up to 15 months after treatment.

• Test seed for germination in the year of use to ensure sufficient viable seed for optimum seedling density.

• Treated seed carried over from previous seasons may not adequately control soil-borne pathogens (e.g., Pythium spp. and Fusarium spp.).

• Treated seed is for sowing purposes only.

MIXING

• Shake well before use.

• Add water and product to the applicator tank and mix thoroughly.

• Maintain agitation during use.

• If the diluted product stands for an extended period, agitate well again before use.

• Do not allow the product to dry out in application equipment, as flaking may occur and contribute to nozzle blockages.
