DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

RESTRICTIONS
Soil factors
Whenever sugar or fodder beet seed treated with FORCE ST is used in areas where soil erosion by wind and/or water is known to be a problem, preventative measures (e.g. cover cropping) must be used to minimise the likelihood of such events occurring.
Due to the probable low incidence of soil pests in very light texture soil and sand, the use of seed treated with FORCE ST on these soil types may not be necessary.
Caution: The possible development of pest strains resistant to FORCE ST cannot be excluded or predicted. If such resistant strains occur, FORCE ST is unlikely to give satisfactory control.

PESTS CONTROLLED
FORCE ST contains tefluthrin, a soil acting pyrethroid insecticide which reduces the damage caused by a range of pests which attack sugar and fodder beet seedlings. The pests involved include: springtails, symphylids, millipedes and pygmy beetle. FORCE ST is recommended to ensure sugar and fodder beet emergence is improved by reducing damage from any of these pests.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Timing
Before drilling.
Rate of use
Apply FORCE ST to achieve a loading of 10 g tefluthrin (50 ml product) per unit of seed. (1 unit = 100,000 seeds).

Maximum number of treatments
One per batch.

Application
Seed coating shall only be performed in professional seed treatment facilities. Those facilities must apply the best available techniques in order to exclude the release of dust clouds during storage, transport and application. Exclude the release of dust clouds during storage, transport and application.
FORCE ST is applied during the process of pelleting sugar beet and fodder beet seed. Pelleting requires specialist equipment, and Syngenta UK Limited should be consulted for advice on application during the pelleting process.
