DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Not for use on agricultural establishments in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box, or other seed 

treatment applications at or immediately before planting. 

For indoor commercial seed treatment use only. 

PRODUCT INFORMATION

INTEGRAL® F-33 contains bacteria that colonize on the developing root systems of plants and 

elicit systemic changes in the plant that activate the plant’s own defense system against certain 

pests and pathogens. As root systems develop, the bacteria grow with the roots, extending the 

protection throughout the growing season. As a result of this biological protection, more 

vigorous plants are established, which often results in more uniform stands and greater yields. 

FOR USE AS A COMMERCIAL SEED TREATMENT

Dilute INTEGRAL® F-33 with water, and apply directly to dry seed or mix INTEGRAL® F-33

with liquid Rhizobium inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment insecticides and/or

fungicides. Do not mix INTEGRAL® F-33 with any product containing a label prohibition 

against such mixing. When tank mixing INTEGRAL® F-33 with any other registered seed 

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

precautions of both INTEGRAL® F-33 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.

ATTENTION: If Rhizobium inoculants are to be used in the tank mix with other seed treatments 

(fungicides, insecticides, fertilizers, etc.), make sure that they are compatible (not harmful) to the 

Rhizobium. Use only chlorine-free water in the tank mix. Likewise, if one or more treatments are 

not compatible (harmful), mix those products in and apply them from a separate mix tank.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

INTEGRAL® F-33 can be applied as a water-based slurry alone or with other seed treatment 

products (fungicides, insecticides). Additionally, Rhizobium inoculants can be added to the tank 

mix. Prior to mixing, determine physical compatibility by mixing proportional quantities of the 

products in water.

To mix, first add the other seed treatment product(s) and/or the Rhizobium inoculant product(s) 

to the mix tank with approximately 1⁄2 of the required water. Slowly add INTEGRAL® F-33 to 

the slurry until a uniform suspension is obtained. Add the remainder of the water while 

maintaining constant agitation. Do not store mixed slurries for longer than 24 hours.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

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

PESTICIDE STORAGE: 

Ensure container closures are tight. Store in a cool, dry place.

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: 

To avoid wastes, use all 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:

{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}

Top Discharge Drum (30 gallon)

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 one nearest you, contact your chemical dealer 

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

www.acrecycle.org. Alternatively, 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.

Bottom Discharge IBC (275 gallon tote)

Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill container. Clean container promptly after 

emptying. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents from the IBC into application 

equipment or mix tank. Raise the bottom of the IBC by 1.5 inch on the side, which is opposite of 

the bottom discharge valve, to promote more complete product removal. Completely remove the 

top lid of the IBC. Use water pressurized to at least 40 PSI to rinse all interior portions. 

Continuously pump or drain rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collection system while 

pressure rinsing. Continue pressure rinsing for 2 minutes or until rinsate becomes clear. Replace 

the lid and close bottom valve. 

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

collection site or picked up for recycling. To find one nearest you, contact your chemical dealer
