### Container Disposal

Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT re use or refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offe r for recycling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incinerati on, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities. Triple rinse containers small enough to shake (capacity ≤ 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Triple rinse containers too large to shake (capacity > 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. F ill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds.

Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate fo r later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times.

Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begi ns to drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at ab out 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide only. DO NOT reuse this container for any other purpose. Triple rinsing the container before final dispos al is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller.
Triple rinse as follows: To clean the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the container about 10% full with water. Agitate vigorously or recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collection system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more times.
When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all openings that have been opened during use; return the container to the point of purchase or to a designated location. This container must only be refilled with a pesticide product. Prior to refilling, inspect carefully for damage such as cracks, punctures, abrasions, worn-out threads and closur e devices. Check for leaks after refilling and before transport. DO NOT transport if this container is damaged or leaking.

### General Information

BAS 700 03 F fungicide seed treatment is a broad-spectrum fungicide that provides preventive seed and seedling protection from several seed and soilborne diseases. Make all applications according to the use directions in this label. Use the higher rates of BAS 700 03 F when disease pressure is expected to be high.


### Resistance Management
Fluxapyroxad, the active ingredient of BAS 700 03 F , belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by the U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA as a target site of action Group 7 fungicide. Due to the minimal amounts of BAS 700 03 F applied to the seed, the potential fo r development of resistance is low. Seed treatments of BAS 700 03 F , therefore, can be followed by fo liar use, and resistance management guidelines of foliar use fungicides containing fluxapy roxad as specified on the respective labels should be followed.



### Application Instructions

For use at commercial treatment facilities. Not for use on farm.

Apply BAS 700 03 F as a water-based mixture using standard slurry or mist-t ype seed treatment application equipment. The exact amount of water needed to provide the mixture or slurry rate (ml/100 kg or oz/cwt of seed) for optimum coverage is difficult to predict because weather conditions (hot or cold), seed type and surface, and equipment used all have a bearing on coverage. Consult a seed treatment specialist regarding slurry rates recommended for the crop seed to be treated with BAS 700 03 F . The required amount of BAS 700 03 F must then be diluted with the specified amount of water that will provide uniform and complete coverage on the seed surface. Uniform application on seed and complete seed coverage are necessary for seed safety and best disease protection. Seed must be of a good quality and well cleaned prior to treatment.

The purchaser of BAS 700 03 F is responsible for ensuring that all seed treated with this product are adequately dyed with a suitable color to prevent accid ental use as food for man or feed for animals. Refer to 21CFR, Part 2.25. Use an EPA-approved dye or color ant that imparts an unnatur al color to the seed. Any dye or colorant added to treated seed must be cleared for use under 40CFR, Part 180.900, “Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance”. Fe deral regulations have established official tolerances or exemptions from tolerances for residues on food and forage crops that must not be exceeded when the product (dye or colorant) is used at specified rates.

4Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibr ation and operation procedure s of the seed treatment equipment being used. Mechanical agitat ion is required for proper mixing of BAS 700 03 F fungicide seed treatment . Prepare no more mixture of BAS 700 03 F than is needed for immediate treating. Add 3/4 of the required volume of water to the mix tank . With agitation running, add the required amount of BAS 700 03 F in the tank along with other seed treatment components. Add the remaining 1/4 amount of the required volume of water. Use the mixing seq uence that follows. Agitate thoroughly before and during application.

BAS 700 03 F With Tank Mix Partners BAS 700 03 F mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments. When using BAS 700 03 F in a tank mixture with seed treatment products , observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitati ons that appear on the tank mix partner label. Label dosage or application rate must not be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. BAS 700 03 F must not be mixed with any product that prohibits such mixing. All applications must be made according to the use directions.

When mixing BAS 700 03 F with seed treatment products, test the compatibility prior to use by conducting a jar test as follows:

1. Mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriat e amount of water in a clear glass container. 2. Mix well and allow to sit for 1 hour. 3. Remix and observe for incompatibility.

Physical compatibility is only part of compatibility. Te sting also needs to be done with the seed to make sure the combination of products does not have detrimental effects on the seed.

Tank Mixing Instructions 1. Add 3/4 of the required amount of water to th e mix tank and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is preferred. 2. Use the following mixing sequence: dye or color ant, wettable powders, soluble powders, flowable formulations, emulsifiable concentrates, and remaini ng 1/4 of the required water. The 1/4 of the required water as the last item for addition to the pr emix tank can be used as rinsate for the chemical container or to adjust the total slurry to compen sate for water displacement by powdered products. 3. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been used. 4. Ensure that seed is dry prior to bagging.

SEED LABELING NOTE: Federal law requires that bags of treated seed shall be labeled with the following: “ This seed has been treated with BAS 700 03 F fungicide seed treatment containing fluxapyroxad. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil purposes. Store away from food and feedstuffs. ”
