Warnings / Restrictions
1.1 Check drill calibration before drilling seed treated with Kinto.
1.2 Do not treat grain with a moisture content exceeding 16% and do not allow the moisture content of treated seed to exceed 16%.
1.3 After treating, bag the seed immediately and keep the seed in a dry and draught free store.
1.4 It is important to achieve good even coverage on the seed to obtain reliable disease control.
1.5 The germination capacity should be checked prior to use and in the event of any minor effects a small change in sowing rate may be made.
1.6 Do not apply Kinto to cracked, split or sprouted seed.
1.7 Some slight delay in emergence may occur, but this will be outgrown with no lasting effects.
1.8 Do not transfer pumps from one treatment to another. When changing formulations, wash out the pump, pipeline and tank with clean water, before use.
1.9 Keep container closed when not in use.
1.10 LABEL TREATED SEED with the appropriate precautions using printed sacks, labels or bag tags.
1.11 Treated seed may not be stored from one season to the next.
Disease Control
Kinto seed treatment provides control of the following seed- and soil-borne diseases of wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale.
Resistance
At the time of printing there are no records of resistance to Kinto known to us. However, disease control may be reduced if strains of fungi resistant to triticonazole or prochloraz occur.
Application
This container must be handled with the assistance of mechanical means. DO NOT attempt to handle manually or to decant or pour Kinto from its container. Use only the fitment supplied.
Kinto should be applied directly to the seed by a conventional seed treatment machine, preferably a BASF seed treatment machine at the rate given above. Agitate the product before use. This is best achieved by re-circulating through the pump for 15 minutes before application. If this is not possible, carefully lie the pack on its side and roll gently for 3-5 revolutions. The product should be used from the original container, with the direct feed system fitted as a standard to the treatment equipment, utilising the aperture in the top of the container. The direct feed system only must be used to transfer the product.
Ensure that seed drill is appropriately calibrated before drilling seed treated with Kinto.
