                              PRODUCT INFORMATION

TARISS(TM) is a seed applied bioactive for protection against flea beetles in canola, rapeseed, mustard, safflower, sunflower and camelina. TARISS(TM) 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.

                    FOR USE AS A COMMERCIAL SEED TREATMENT

Do not mix TARISS(TM) with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing TARISS(TM) with any other registered seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both TARISS(TM) 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 TARISS(TM) through commercial seed treating equipment.  If used alone, slowly add TARISS(TM) 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 TARISS(TM) 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 TARISS(TM) per 10,000 lb of seed (the metric equivalent of 1.0 L of TARISS(TM) per 1000 kg of seed).

Seed Storage:
TARISS(TM) 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.
