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

RESTRICTIONS
Do not treat seed with a moisture content exceeding 16%. Do not apply SIGNAL 300 ES to cracked, split or sprouted seed or seed of low germination capacity or vigour. Seed treated with SIGNAL 300 ES should preferably be drilled in the season of treatment. Although testing has shown SIGNAL 300 ES to have no effect on the storage life of treated seed, the subsequent germination and performance of treated seed may be adversely affected by the physical conditions of storage. The germination capacity of stored seed should therefore be checked thoroughly prior to use. Arysta LifeScience accepts no liability for the performance of stored, treated seed.Flow of seed through drills may be affected by SIGNAL 300 ES. Always re-calibrate your seed drill with treated seed before drilling. Treated seed should be stored in a cool, dry, frost-free, well-ventilated building. Signal 300 ES must be co-applied with a suitable seed treatment fungicide for the control of seed and soil-borne disease

Insect control
SIGNAL 300 ES is an emulsion seed treatment containing the insecticide cypermethrin for the reduction of wireworm (Agriotes spp.) and improved plant stand, and the reduction of wheat bulb fly (Delia coarctata) damage on wheat and barley. Cypermethrin is a non-systemic soil acting pyrethroid, which kills or repels the larvae of wheat bulb fly which attack young seedlings from below the soil surface. SIGNAL 300 ES provides a zone of protection around the germinating seedling.
In situations where wheat bulb fly egg counts indicate a high risk of severe damage, a follow-up egg hatch or deadheart spray may be required. Where earlier drillings are combined with a late egg hatch, follow-up sprays may also be required. Caution: The possible development of pest strains resistant to SIGNAL 300 ES cannot be predicted or excluded. If such resistant strains occur, SIGNAL 300 ES is unlikely to give satisfactory control. Drill treated seed at 2.5-4 cm depth into a firm, well prepared seedbed offering optimal conditions for crop emergence and establishment. Poor seedbeds, deep or shallow drilling may reduce the level of pest control obtained. 

Application
SIGNAL 300 ES can be applied through most seed treatment machines, both batch and continuous types, where secondary mixing is provided. The machines should be calibrated to apply the recommended dose, and this amount should be distributed evenly between the seeds with good coverage to provide optimum pest control. A minimum total volume of 4.0 litres (dilution factor of 2) is required. For further information see the compatibility section below. After application, machinery and pipelines must be washed with clean water.

Compatibility
SIGNAL 300 ES should not be pre-mixed with any other seed treatment product. Signal may be co-applied with Anchor or Rancona 15 ME. For information on compatibility with other products please contact Arysta LifeScience
