Integrated Pest Management Options

Drain excess moisture and avoid compaction. Plant when soil and weather conditions favour rapid emergence and early growth of seedlings. Increase plant populations to compensate for any plant losses.

Seed Treatment

Comments (Days to harvest, label precautions, etc.)
Use 20-40 mL for forage grasses.

Use 40 mL for alfalfa, clover, trefoil, and vetch.

Do not use in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box, or other non-commercial seed-treatment applications at or immediately before planting. Do not graze or feed livestock on seeded area for 4 weeks after planting. Read label for information on resistant strains of fungus.
