Application Tips

Seed-piece treatment:

• Apply the specified rate using a contained, shielded spray system in a ventilated area
• Use ConeJet nozzles
• Drum treaters are recommended to provide most consistent overall coverage
• Apply before application of fungicide dust
• Plant treated seed pieces in a timely fashion. Exposure to sunlight will reduce insecticide effectiveness and promote tuber root and shoot development.
• Ensure workers are wearing proper protective equipment
• Dispose of any treated seed as per label directions
