GENERAL INFORMATION
BAS 500 F ST is a broad spectrum fungicide that provides preventative seed and seedling protection against the seed- and soil-borne pathogens including Rhizoctonia in corn. In wheat and barley, BASF 500 ST protects against diseases caused by seed- and soil-borne pathogens including Cochliobolus and soil-borne Fusarium. BAS 500 ST protects canola and oilseed mustard from key seed- and soil-borne pathogens such as Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Alternaria and Leptosphaeria. In soybeans, BAS 500 ST protects against diseases caused by seed- and soil-borne Fusarium and Rhizoctonia. Make all applications according to the use directions in this label. Use the high rate of BAS 500 F ST when disease pressure is expected to be high.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply BAS 500 F ST as a water-based mixture using standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment application equipment. The exact amount of water needed to provide the mixture or slurry rate (mL/100 kg of seed) for optimum coverage is difficult to predict since weather conditions, hot or cold, seed type and surface and equipment used all have a bearing on coverage. Consult a seed treatment specialist regarding slurry rates recommended for the crop seed to be treated with BAS 500 F ST. The required amount of BAS 500 F ST should then be diluted with the recommended amount of water that will provide uniform and complete coverage on the seed surface. Uniform application on seed and complete seed coverage are necessary for seed safety and best disease protection. Seed should be sound and well cleaned prior to treatment. The purchaser of BAS 500 F ST is responsible for ensuring that all seed treated with this product are adequately dyed with a suitable color to prevent its accidental use as food for man or feed for animals.

SEED LABELLING
TREATED SEED MUST BE LABELLED AS FOLLOWS:
"This seed has been treated with BAS 500 F ST containing pyraclostrobin. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil processing".
Thoroughly clean auger after handling treated seed before using same auger for handling commercial or feed grains.
Leftover treated seed should not be stored where there is a chance of it becoming mixed with untreated seed.
Store treated seed in cool, dry conditions.
When planting treated seeds, workers must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemicalresistant gloves made of any waterproof material (such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene and/or barrier laminate) and shoes plus socks.
DO NOT plant more than 8,000 kg of treated wheat or barley seeds per day without using a closed cab planter. All workers outside the closed cab during planting must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material (such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene and/or barrier laminate), shoes plus socks and a respirator with a NIOSH/MSHA/BHSE approved organic-vapour-removing cartridge with a pre-filter approved for pesticides OR a NIOSH/MSHA/BHSE approved canister approved for pesticides.
When planting corn and soybean seeds, a closed cab planter is required at all times. All workers outside the closed cab must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material (such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene and/or barrier laminate), shoes plus socks and a respirator with a NIOSH/MSHA/BHSE approved organic-vapour-removing cartridge with a pre-filter approved for pesticides OR a NIOSH/MSHA/BHSE approved canister approved for pesticides.
