GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Mixing:

• Turf should be in good nutritional condition prior to treatment to prevent damage to sensitive turf species (e.g., fescues, bluegrass, and turf type rye grass) if repeat applications are made too soon.

• This product can be applied to seed undiluted or may be mixed with water to achieve optimum coverage of the grain. Volumes of water used will depend upon equipment to be used and product rate.

• Use only in equipment designed for applying liquids or slurries to seed. As flakes may form on the inside of the container, filter before use. Do not allow the product to dry in application equipment as the resulting flakes can block filters and nozzles, reducing the performance of the equipment. Clean equipment with water after use.

• Shake the container well before and either shake or agitate well once mixed with water. Agitate regularly during application.

Inoculation (Seed):

• This product will not affect the germination of seed if used as directed. However, when rhizobial inoculant is also applied to the seed, the viability of the inoculant may be reduced.

• Chickpea and lupin inoculant can be applied to the seed in a separate operation after seed treatment. Apply the inoculant on the day of sowing after the fungicide treatment has dried on the seed.

• Sow into a moist seedbed as soon as possible after treatment. If seed is sown into a dry seedbed, the fungicide can cause a reduction in nodulation. Alternatively, inoculant can be sprayed into the furrow at seeding rather than combining with the treated seed. This method of applying inoculant is not recommended in WA.

Sowing:

• Check seed flow through the drill after treatment as treated seed can flow more slowly.

Storage of Treated Seed:

• Store treated seed, if not used immediately after treatment, in a dry well-ventilated place. Poor storage of treated seed, such as high moisture combined with high temperature, can adversely affect subsequent germination.

• Treated seed should not be held over from one sowing season to be sown in subsequent seasons. Treated seed should be stored apart from other seed, seed bags, or other containers. Bags should be marked to clearly indicate seed has been treated with this product. Empty bags should not be used for any other purpose.

Compatibility:

• Do not mix with lime sulfur or Bordeaux sprays.

• Do not mix with fungicides containing copper.
