Fungicide Seed Treatment
SUSPENSION
For seed treatment use in barley, oat, rye, triticale and wheat (all types)

No open transfer is permitted for commercial seed treatment of barley, wheat, oats, rye and triticale.


GENERAL INFORMATION
INSURE CEREAL is a ready-to-use broad spectrum fungicide seed treatment in a water-based formulation that provides preventive seed and seedling protection against seed-, soil-borne and seedling diseases in barley, oat, rye, triticale and wheat (all types). Make all applications according to the use directions in this label.
INSURE CEREAL Seed Treatment Fungicide is active against a wide range of diseases caused by Fusarium spp., Pythium spp., and Cochliobolus sativus and is also active against a wide range of smuts and bunt.


DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For use on farm and on closed transfer commercial seed treatment facilities. Closed transfer includes closed mixing, loading, calibrating and closed treatment equipment.
Apply INSURE CEREAL using standard slurry, gravity flow or mist-type seed treatment application equipment. Thorough seed coverage will offer the best protection of the seed from seed-, soil-borne, and seedling diseases. When used at the recommended rate of 300 mL/100 kg seed, no additional dyes or dilutions with water are needed unless recommended by the manufacturer of the seed treatment application equipment/machines. If so, increase the use rate proportionally to the dilution rate (e.g. add 100 mL of water to 300 mL of INSURE CEREAL, then apply at 400 mL/100 kg seed). Please consult the seed treatment application equipment manufacturer in question for further directions.
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.

SEED LABELLING
TREATED SEED MUST BE LABELLED AS FOLLOWS:
"This seed has been treated with INSURE CEREAL containing fungicides pyraclostrobin, triticonazole and metalaxyl. Workers handling or planting treated seed must wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes and socks, and respiratory protection (i.e. NIOSH/MSHA/BHSE approved respirator or fresh air hood). Respiratory protection is not required when workers are in a closed cab tractor. A closed cab is a chemical resistant barrier that completely surrounds the occupant of the cab and prevents contact with the pesticide or treated surfaces outside the cab. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil processing. Store away from feed and food stuff.
Any spilled or exposed seeds must be incorporated into the soil or otherwise cleaned-up from the soil surface."


PRECAUTIONS
1. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
2. DO NOT apply in a way that this product will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only handlers (mixers, loaders and applicators) wearing personal protective equipment may be in the area when seed is being treated or bagged.
3. Workers mixing, loading, treating, cleaning-up, or maintaining and repairing seed treatment equipment, bagging, sewing, stacking, involved in handling treated seed, or when transferring seed to a storage bin, must wear coveralls over long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, head gear, shoes and socks.
4. Workers planting treated seed must wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes and socks.
5. Workers bagging, sewing bags of treated seed, transferring seed to storage bins, handling and planting treated seed must also wear respiratory protection (i.e. NIOSH/MSHA/BHSE approved respirator or fresh air hood). Respiratory protection is not required when workers are in a closed cab tractor. A closed cab is a chemical resistant barrier that completely surrounds the occupant of the cab and prevents contact with the pesticide or treated surfaces outside the cab.
