Insure Cereal is a ready to use seed treatment formulation. This product is for use in commercial seed plant, in on-farm
standard gravity flow or mist type treatment machines, and in on-the-go air seeder treatment systems. Agitate or shake
well prior to usage. Uneven seed coverage may result in poor levels of disease control. Seed should be well conditioned and
cleaned prior to treating. Treated seed should not require drying after treatment.
How it Works:
The active ingredient pyraclostrobin is a strobilurin fungicide with broad spectrum contact and systemic activity. The
active ingredient triticonazole is a triazole fungicide that provides systemic broad spectrum activity. The active ingredient
metalaxyl is an acylalanine fungicide with systemic activity. For more information refer to “Fungicide Modes of Action” on
page 435.
Tank Mixes:
None listed.
Restrictions:
Resistance management: Refer to page 434.
• Labelling: Treated seed must be labeled “This seed has been treated with Insure Cereal containing fungicides
pyraclostrobin, triticonazole and metalaxyl. Workers handling or planting treated seed must wear long-sleeved shirt,
long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes and socks, and respiratory protection (i.e. NIOSH/MSHA/BHSE approved
respirator or fresh air hood). Respiratory protection is not required when workers are in a closed cab tractor. A closed
cab is a chemical resistant barrier that completely surrounds the occupant of the cab and prevents contact with the
pesticide or treated surfaces outside the cab. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil processing. Store away from feed or food
stuff. Any spilled or exposed seeds must be incorporated into the soil or otherwise cleaned-up from the soil surface.”
• Grazing: No restrictions listed.
• Re-cropping: No restrictions listed.
• Storage: Store in original containers with lid tightly closed. Store away from children, animals, feed stuffs, fertilizers
and seed. Protect from frost and freezing. DO NOT store treated seed for more than 18 months. Store treated seed in
cool, dry conditions.
