Seed Treatment Fungicides Labeled for Use on Winter Wheat
By Laura Sweets

Although seed treatment fungicides can be an effective means of preventing or reducing losses from various seed- and soilborne microorganisms, there are several important laws or guidelines concerning fungicide treated seed. Always read the pesticide label and follow all directions and restrictions on the label but in particular for seed treatment fungicides remember the following points.

Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil purposes.
All treated seed must be colored with an EPA-approved dye which imparts an unnatural color to the seed.
Federal law requires that bags containing treated seed shall be labeled with the following information: "This seed has been treated with (common chemical name of active ingredients) fungicide(s). Do not use treated seed for feed, food or oil purposes. Store away from feeds and food stuffs."

The following table was prepared using current company product labels and manufacturers' Websites. However, label registrations can change at any time. Before using any agricultural pesticide, read and follow directions accompanying that product. Product names have been used for clarity. Reference to specific trade names does not imply endorsement by the University of Missouri; discrimination is not intended against similar products not listed.
