# DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this prod uct in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read entire label before using this product.

For use only in commercial seed treatment e quipment. Not for use in hopper box, planter box, slurry box, or other on-farm seed treatment applications.

### USE INFORMATION
BYI 02960 480 FS is a seed treatment insecticide that, when applied to seed, protects the seed and seedling against certain ear ly season insects. As a result of the protection, there is an impr ovement in plant vigor, which often results in more uniform plan ts and greater yields.



### COMPATIBILITY
It is essential that before using BYI 02960 480 FS seed treatment in any tank mixture the compatibility of the mixture be estab lished. Add BYI 02960 480 FS at the labeled rate to a clean quart ja r containing approximately one-half the amount of water intended fo r a final slurry application rate. Next, follow with all other tank mix components that will be used in the total slurry application. Add last the remaining balance of water. The total amount of volume is determin ed by the seed size and how much is necessary to ensure compl ete and uniform coverage and distribution on the seed, as well as t he type of commercial seed treating application equipment that w ill be used.
DO NOT USE MIXTURES THAT CURDLE, PRECIPITATE, OR GEL. USE TANK MIXTURES IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING WITH ADEQUATE AGITATION.



### DIRECTIONS FOR SEED TREATMENT
All seed treated with this product must be colored with an E PA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed to help prevent the inadvertent use of treated seed for food, feed, or oil purposes.



### FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT
Apply BYI 02960 480 FS as a commercial water-based slurry either alone or with other registered seed treatment insecticides or fungicides through standard slurry or mist commercial seed trea tment equipment. Follow the most restrictive of the labeling lim itations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. Treated seed must be labeled in accordance with the requirements of the Feder al Seed Act.



### MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
When applied with seed treatment application equipment designed to treat seed utilizing a treatment slurry mixture, add approxi mately 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 of the required water to the treatment slurry tank followed by the accompanying seed treatment products and BYI 02960 480 FS. The order of product addition is dependant on the accompanyin g seed treatment products and application equipment used. Allo w each slurry component to disperse completely prior to the next addition until a uniform suspension is obtained. After all slurr y components have been added and dispersed completely add the remaining 1⁄2 to 1⁄3 of required water for proper slurry volume and mix until uniform. Do not store mi xed slurries for greater than 72 hours. Mainta in adequate agitation until treatment slurry is app lied. For additional instructions for use, slurry component mixing order, and other applic ation suggestions contact your Bayer CropScienc e representative.

### APPLICATION RATES
May be used in combination with other registered Bayer CropScienc e seed treatment fungicides and/or insecticides. Pre-test for compatibility with other seed treatment products.



### RESTRICTIONS: Regardless of type of application (seed treatment or foliar), do not apply more than 0.365 lb of active ingredient flupyradifur one per acre per season.



### Resistance Management Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area. Such strategies may inclu de rotating and/or tank mixing with products having different m odes of action; or limiting the total number of ap plications per season. Use labeled rates. Contact your local extension specialist, ce rtified crop advisor, and/or manufacturer for insecticide resistance management and/or integrated pest management recommendations for specif ic crops and pest populations. Bayer CropScience encourages responsibl e product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of pests on this label.
