RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
For resistance management, note that Belmont 2.7 FS contains a Group 4 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Belmont 2.7 FS and other Group 4 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of efficiency may occur if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism. Appropriate resistancemanagement strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance:
• Where possible, rotate the use of Belmont 2.7 FS or other Group 4 fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group when such use is permitted.
• Fungicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
• If disease continues to progress after treatment with this product, do not increase the use rate. Discontinue use of this product, and switch to another fungicide with a different target site of action.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance- management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.

USE RESTRICTIONS:
1. Treated seed must not be used for food, feed or oil processing.
2. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for four weeks after planting.
3. Treated seed may be toxic to birds and other wildlife. Clean up any spilled seed. Ensure that treated seed is properly incorporated at planting.
4. All bags containing treated seed for sale or use in Canada must be labelled or tagged as follows:
For barley, oats, rye, wheat and triticale:
“This seed has been treated with Belmont 2.7 FS seed protectant, which contains metalaxyl, a Group 4 Fungicide. Wear coveralls over normal clothing and chemical resistant gloves when handling treated seed. Do not use for feed, food or oil processing.”
For other crops:
“This seed has been treated with Belmont 2.7 FS seed protectant, which contains metalaxyl, a Group 4 Fungicide. Use chemical resistant gloves when handling treated seed. Do not use for feed, food or oil processing.”
5. All bags containing treated seed for export must be labeled or tagged as follows:
“FOR EXPORT ONLY. This seed has been treated with Belmont 2.7 FS seed protectant which contains metalaxyl a Group 4 Fungicide. Use chemical resistant gloves when handling treated seed. Do not use for feed, food or oil processing . Store away from feeds and foodstuffs."
6. No foliar application of metalaxyl can be used on low-tannin lentils grown from metalaxyl treated seed.
