GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING AND SEED TREATMENT

Cotton

• Prior to pouring or pumping Genero 600 from the container, either shake the container vigorously or operate the pump by-pass to ensure thorough mixing of the contents.
• Flowable formulations will settle over time.
• Add most of the water into the mixing vat, followed by flowable fungicides (e.g., quintozene), coating agents (e.g., Peridam, Nacret), and Genero 600. Stir until homogeneous.
• Then add the emulsifiable liquid fungicide (e.g., MetalaxylM 200 g/L) slowly while stirring.
• Calibrate commercial seed dressing equipment to ensure the seed throughput is mixed with the correct dose of slurry seed dressing.
• Ensure the seed dressing mixture is applied to the maximum number of seeds when initially applied to the seed.
• Retain seed in the mixing chamber until coverage on the seed is good.
• Store treated seed under cover in cool, dry conditions.
• Do not treat seed with poor viability.
• Do not store treated seed near foodstuffs or where likely to prove hazardous to humans or animals.

Forage and seed pasture, canola, lupin, summer crops

• Prior to pouring, shake the container vigorously, then add the required quantity of Genero 600 to sufficient water to give even coverage of the seed to be treated.
• Place seed in mixing equipment and rotate.
• Mix Genero 600 with sufficient water to give even coverage of seed and spray onto seed.
• For small seeds, apply a total volume of Genero 600 plus water of 1.5 L/100 kg seed. For large seeds, apply a total volume of Genero 600 plus water of 500 mL/100 kg seed.
• Continue rotation until all liquid is distributed on seed.
• Store treated seed under cover in cool, dry conditions.
• Do not treat seed with poor viability.
• Do not store treated seed near foodstuffs or where likely to prove hazardous to humans or animals.
• Do not carry over maize, sorghum, sunflower, or sweet corn seed from one season to the next season.
• The insecticidal activity of Genero 600 on the seed is maintained for a minimum of two seasons.
• Flow rate: Genero 600 treated seed may slow the flow rate of seed. Check the flow rate of seed through sowing machinery before sowing to ensure the desired seeding rate is achieved.

Cereal crops

• Prior to pouring, shake the container vigorously, then add the required quantity of Genero 600 to sufficient water to give even coverage of the cereal seed to be treated.
• The quantity of water used for mixing will vary depending on the type of equipment and quality of seed.
• Use a minimum of 400 mL of mixture (i.e. Genero 600 plus water) with each 100 kg of seed.
• Do not use more than 600 mL of mixture (product + water) with each 100 kg of seed.
• Whatever dilution is used, it is essential that 120 mL (or 240 mL) of Genero 600 is applied/100 kg seed.
• The mixture should be gently stirred regularly.

SEED QUALITY

• Genero 600 seed treatment should not be used on seed with more than 12% moisture content, or on sprung, sprouted, damaged, or severely pinched seed, or seed of poor viability.
• If in doubt, have a germination test carried out on the seed before treatment to ensure that it is of acceptable standard.
• Treating with Genero 600 as directed may raise the moisture level of the seed by up to 0.6% depending on conditions at treatment.
• The use of Genero 600 mixed with water at recommended rates will have no effect on the storage life of treated sound seed.

STORAGE OF TREATED SEED

• Do not store treated seed near foodstuffs or where likely to prove hazardous to humans or animals.
• If the seed is not used immediately after treatment, it should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place.
• Although Genero 600 has no effect on the viability of treated seed, subsequent germination can be adversely affected by poor storage conditions such as high moisture combined with high temperatures.
• No liability can, therefore, be accepted for the performance of stored treated seed.

COMPATIBILITY

• Genero 600 Flowable Seed Dressing Insecticide is compatible with Baytan C Flowable Seed Dressing and Raxil C Flowable Seed Dressing for use on cereal seeds.
• Do not use more than 600 mL of total mixture/100 kg seed (i.e., Genero 600 plus Baytan or Raxil plus water).
• Genero 600 Flowable Seed Dressing Insecticide may be applied with Jockey Systemic Seed Fungicide or with Semevin P Seed Dressing Insecticide.
