PRODUCT INFORMATION

TARISSTM is a seed applied bioactive for protection against flea beetles in canola, 

rapeseed, mustard, safflower, sunflower and camelina. TARISSTM can be tank-mixed 

with other registered seed treatment insecticides to provide enhanced and extended 

control of flea beetles. 

USE RESTRICTIONS

Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Label: TARISSTM Rev. 1 Feb. 5, 2013 Page 4 of 6

FOR USE AS A COMMERCIAL SEED TREATMENT

Do not mix TARISSTM with any product containing a label prohibition against such 

mixing. When tank-mixing TARISSTM with any other registered seed treatment 

insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and 

precautions of both TARISSTM and the tank-mix partner(s). The resulting tank-mix must 

be in accordance with the most restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not 

exceed label dosage rates.

Apply TARISSTM through commercial seed treating equipment. If used alone, slowly

add TARISSTM to sufficient water for good seed coverage and continue mixing until 

uniform. If used in combination with a registered seed treatment, add the required amount 

of the chemical seed treatment first, then slowly add TARISSTM to the solution and 

continue mixing until uniform. Do not store mixed solutions for longer than 72 hours 

before applying to the seed.

For protection against flea beetles in canola, rapeseed, mustard, safflower, sunflower and 

camelina use an application rate of 1.2 gal of TARISSTM per 10,000 lb of seed (the metric 

equivalent of 1.0 L of TARISSTM per 1000 kg of seed).

Seed Storage:

TARISSTM treated canola seed can be stored without loss of germination or disease 

performance. However, due to seed quality and seed storage conditions beyond the 

control of Becker Underwood, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of 

carryover seed.

CONTAINER HANDLING:

{For containers with capacities less than or equal to 5 gallons}

Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or 

equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse 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. 

Then offer for recycling if available, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or 

by incineration. Do not burn, unless allowed by state and local ordinances. If burned, stay

out of smoke.

{For containers with capacities more than 5 gallons}

Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or 

equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining 

contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill 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. Stand the container on its end and tip it 

back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back 

and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or 

store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Once 

cleaned, some agricultural plastic pesticide containers can be taken to a container 

collection site or picked up for recycling. To find the nearest site, contact your chemical 

dealer or manufacturer, or contact Ag Container Recycling Council at 877-952-2272 or
