FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT

Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigor 

and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease pests, may result 

in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. Treat a small quantity of 

seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination 

tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. 

Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of 

manufacturer, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over seed or propagating 

material for all crop seed.

FOR USE AS A PRE-PLANT SEED TREATMENT

Treat only those seeds needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and 

planting. Do not store excess treated seeds beyond planting time.

To achieve improved application coverage to the seed, dilute SOYACYST Tech+ with water and 

apply directly to dry seed or mix with inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment coatings 

(e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.), insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix SOYACYST Tech+

with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing with 

any other registered seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use 

directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOYACYST Tech+ and the tank mix partner(s). 

The resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and 

precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates. Please consult Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc., for 

additional information (http://www.pasteuriabio.com/).

SOYBEAN 

For control of soybean cyst nematode, apply 2 to 5 fluid ounces of SOYACYST Tech+ per 100 

Lbs (60-150 mL per 45.4 kg) of soybean seed. 

FOR USE AS A COMMERICAL SEED TREATMENT

To achieve improved application coverage to the seed, dilute SOYACYST Tech+ with water and 

apply directly to dry seed or mix with inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment coating 

(e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.), insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix SOYACYST Tech+

with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing with 

any other registered seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use 

directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOYACYST Tech+ and the tank mix partner(s). 

The resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and 

precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates. Please consult Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc., for 

additional information (http://www.pasteuriabio.com/).

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal.

PESTICIDE STORAGE

Store refrigerated (~4oC). Reclose container of unused portions of SOYACYST Tech+.

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL

To avoid wastes, use the material in this container by application according to label directions. If 

wastes cannot be avoided, offer remaining product to a waste disposal facility or pesticide 

disposal program (often such programs are run by state or local governments or by industry).

CONTAINER HANDLING

Refillable container. Refill this container with SOYACYST Tech+ only. Do not reuse this 

container for any other purpose. 

Cleaning the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the 

container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller. To clean the container 

before final disposal, triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse 

as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or 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 mix tank or store 

rinsate for later disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. 

[For Plastic containers:] 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 Metal containers:] Then offer for recycling if available or reconditioning if appropriate or 

puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by state and local
