HAZARDS TO HUMANS 

AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS

When used as directed this product does not present a hazard to humans or domestic animals.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Applicators and other handlers must wear:

Long-sleeved shirt and long pants.

Shoes plus socks.

After the product has been diluted in accordance with label directions for use, shirt, pants, socks, and shoes are sufficient

Personal Protective Equipment. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining personal protective equipment

(PPE). If no such instructions for washables are available, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from

other laundry.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and oysters. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash

water.

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove

clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE

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

• Use this product only as a commercial seed treatment in rapeseed/canola or mustard seed.

• Treated seed must not be used for or mixed with food or animal feed, or processed for oil.

When applied according to this label, DERMACOR® Z-103 will provide control of cutworms and flea beetles. Consult your

local DuPont Crop Protection company representative or agricultural advisor for guidance on predicted pest pressure based on

historical field data for these pests in your area. 

DERMACOR® Z-103 should be used only in accordance with directions on this label or in separate DuPont supplemental

labeling.

DuPont will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner not specifically

stated on this label or other labels or bulletins published by DuPont. User assumes all risks associated with such non-recommended use.

DERMACOR® Z-103 may be applied to rapeseed/canola or mustard seed. Rapeseed/canola and mustard seed are typically

planted at a soil depth of 1/2 to 1 inch.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

DuPont supports the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part

of an IPM program, which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices, aimed at preventing economic pest

damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification,

population monitoring, rotation of insecticides with different modes-of-action, and treating when target pest populations

reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or

other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site

systems in your area. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

DERMACOR® Z-103 is a Group 28 Insecticide. Repeated and exclusive use of DERMACOR® Z-103 or other Group 28

Insecticides may lead to the buildup of resistant strains of insects in some crops. 

Because the development of resistance cannot be predicted, this product may be used as part of resistant management strategies

established for the use area. These strategies may include incorporation of cultural and biological control practices, alternation

of mode-of-action classes of insecticides (non-Group 28) on succeeding generations and targeting the most susceptible life

stage. Consult your local or state agricultural authorities for details. 

For crops grown from DERMACOR® Z-103 treated seeds: 

• Including the DERMACOR® Z-103 seed treatment, make no more than two applications of cyantraniliprole or other Group

28 products per generation to the same insect species on a crop or within a 30 day period. Application(s) to the next generation of target pest(s) must be with an effective product with a different mode of action (non-Group 28 insecticide). 

If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult your local DuPont Crop

Protection company representative or agricultural advisor for the best alternate method of control for your area. For additional

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

DuPontTM DERMACOR® Z-103 insecticide seed treatment must be used only in accordance with its labeling and with

the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural

workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements

for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on the label about personal protective equipment, restricted-entry interval, and notification to workers (as applicable).

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only

protected handlers may be in the area during application. 

For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 4 hours. 

Exception: If the seed is treated with the product and the treated seed is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker

Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with

anything that has been treated.

For early entry into treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with

anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, wear:

• Coveralls

• Shoes plus socks

• Chemical resistant gloves (made of any waterproof material)

APPLICATION AND MIXING GUIDANCE

DERMACOR® Z-103 may be applied as a water-based slurry with other registered seed treatment fungicides and insecticides.

Potential mixing partners should be tested for physical compatibility with DERMACOR® Z-103 and added dyes or polymers

before mixing in a large tank for seed treatment. Avoid mixtures of several materials and very concentrated spray mixtures.

Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. Do not mix this

product with any product that prohibits such mixing. 

USE RATE

Use DERMACOR® Z-103 as recommended in the following Use-Rate Table for control of cutworms and flea beetles. The

seed treating rate of DERMACOR® Z-103 should be determined based on planned seeding density. Consult your DuPont Crop

Protection company representative for further guidance.

DERMACOR® Z-103 Seed Treatment Use-Rate Table

* Use the higher rates in areas that are predicted to have high pest pressure, in areas with high populations of striped flea beetle,

or where extended early season control is required.

Minimum application interval between treatments is 7 days.

Do not apply a total of more than 0.4 lb ai/A (9.8 fl oz per acre) of CYAZYPYRTM or cyantraniliprole containing products per

crop.

Last application (days to harvest) is 7 days. 

MIXING GUIDANCE

For use in commercial seed treaters only, operating standard, calibrated seed treatment equipment. Treatment equipment

must be clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before applying DERMACOR® Z-103. Add DERMACOR® Z-103

directly to mixing tank. Mix thoroughly recommended amount of DERMACOR® Z-103 with the required amount of

water.

Add an EPA approved dye or colorant to treat the seeds per 40 CFR 153.155(b)(1) during the seed treatment process.

Ensure that all treated seed are dyed an unnatural color. 

MIXING TANK CLEANOUT

Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all mixing equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits, which might become difficult to

remove.

Drain mixing equipment. Thoroughly rinse mixing equipment and flush with clean water. 

Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. Do not

clean near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations.
