GENERAL INFORMATION
PROSEED Seed Treatment is a seed treatment fungicide which controls seed-borne and soil-borne diseases caused by Fusarium spp. (including seedling diseases due to F. graminearum) and Rhizoctonia spp. on listed crops. Use the higher rate for crops/cultivars that are expected to be more susceptible to seed-borne or soil-borne pathogens, or when high disease pressures are expected.
PROSEED Seed Treatment will not control diseases caused by Pythium spp. or Phytophthora spp. If these diseases are expected to be a problem, PROSEED Seed Treatment may be mixed with APRON XL LS FUNGICIDE, provided APRON XL LS FUNGICIDE is registered on that crop. Consult each label for registered use rates and follow all label use instructions for each of the products.
Follow the label directions for each product for the most restrictive label precautions and limitations. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
Note: Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigour and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigour. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small portion of the seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta Canada Inc., no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over treated seed.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Shake or mix well before using.
Apply PROSEED Seed Treatment as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of PROSEED Seed Treatment into the required amount of water for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during the treatment. Allow the seed to dry before bagging.
Seed treated with PROSEED Seed Treatment or a combination of PROSEED Seed Treatment and APRON XL LS FUNGICIDE may not flow through a seed drill at the same rate as untreated seed. Recalibrate the seed drill before planting treated seed.
Ideal storage temperature is above freezing and below 30 C.
This product contains no colourant. An appropriate colourant must be added when this product is applied. Regulations pertaining to the “Seeds Act” must be strictly adhered to when using this product. A red colourant must be added when this product is applied to grain.

USE RATES FOR ALL CROPS:
For treatment of SEEDS only. Not for treating propagating root or tuber material.
For control of seed-borne and soil-borne fungi which cause Seed Decay, Damping-Off and Seedling Blights, apply the following rates of PROSEED Seed Treatment per 100 kg of seed of the following crops listed.
