GENERAL INFORMATION
Stress Shield 600 is a systemic seed treatment insecticide that provides protection of certain crops from damage caused by listed chewing and sucking insects thRough contact and systemic activity. Thorough seed coverage is required for maximum protection of seed. When rate ranges are given, use the higher rate when insect pressure is expected to be high. Under high insect pressures, a foliar insecticide may be required, therefore monitor crops regularly for insect infestation levels. Do not apply any subsequent application of a Group 4 Insecticide (i.e., infurrow or foliar application) following treatment with Stress Shield 600.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
CEREALS: Wheat (durum, winter and spring), barley (spring and winter) and oats.
To provide early-season protection against crop stand injury caused by wireworm and larvae of European chafer and Japanese beetle apply Stress Shield 600 at 17-50 mL/100 kg of seed. For fields with a history of moderate to high wireworm pressure, treat crops at 34 – 50 mL / 100 kg seed. Use the higher rate when infestation pressures are expected to be heavy. Do not apply any subsequent application of a Group 4 Insecticide (i.e. in-furrow or foliar application) following treatment with Stress Shield 600.
For use in commercial and on-farm seed treatment equipment. Mix thoroughly before use or use entire container at one time. All seed must be conspicuously coloured at the time of treatment in accordance with Seed Act and Regulations. Seed treated with Stress Shield 600 may reduce seed flow in the seed drill. Recalibration of the seed drill may be required to obtain correct seeding rate before planting. Stress Shield 600 can be used as an over-treatment.
Pre-test the germination of a small sample of each seed lot with Stress Shield 600 prior to commercial application to the whole lot. Carry-over of seed treated with Stress Shield 600 is not recommended. Stress Shield 600 can be used as an over-treatment
LEGUME VEGETABLES. Stress Shield 600 is a systemic insecticide seed treatment for early season protection of listed edible podded beans and dry shelled beans from potato leafhopper and crop stand injury caused by wireworm, larvae of European chafer and Japanese beetle and pea leaf weevil. In soybeans, Stress Shield 600 provides early season protection against soybean aphid, crop stand injury caused by wireworm and seedcorn maggot and early season defoliation caused by the overwintering generation of bean leaf beetle.
Do not apply any subsequent application of a Group 4 Insecticide (i.e., in-furrow or foliar application) following treatment with Stress Shield 600.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Storage of Stress Shield 600 at low temperatures is not recommended. Prior to and during application, Stress Shield must be thoroughly agitated to ensure uniform mixing of the product.
