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 for development of resistance is low. 

Seed treatments of BAS 700 03 F, therefore, can be followed by foliar use, and resistance management 

guidelines of foliar use fungicides containing fluxapyroxad 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-type 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 accidental use as food for man or feed for animals. Refer 

to 21CFR, Part 2.25. Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural 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”. Federal 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. 

4 
Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibration and operation procedures of the seed treatment 

equipment being used. Mechanical agitation 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 sequence 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 limitations 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 appropriate 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. Testing 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 the mix tank and turn on the agitation. Mechanical 

agitation is preferred. 

2. Use the following mixing sequence: dye or colorant, wettable powders, soluble powders, flowable 

formulations, emulsifiable concentrates, and remaining 1/4 of the required water. The 1/4 of the 

required water as the last item for addition to the premix tank can be used as rinsate for the chemical 

container or to adjust the total slurry to compensate 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.”
