Apply specified dosage as a diluted spray onto seed pieces using a
shielded spray system. Agitate or stir spray solution as needed. For
optimal insect control, good coverage of the seed pieces is required. Do
not dilute with any more than 6 parts water to 1 part Titan ST.
Plant seed pieces as soon as possible after cutting and treating. For
extended residual control of pests other than wireworm, apply the higher
rate. One application per season.

Application Information
How to Apply
:
Apply using appropriate seed piece treater designed for treating potatoes.
Application Tips
Apply only in areas with adequate ventilation or in areas that are equipped to remove spray mist or dust.
How it Works
Titan ST is a systemic insecticide that affects the nervous system through ingestion for suppression of wireworm
damage.
Restrictions
Grazing
:
Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing.
Re-cropping
:
Corn, canola and potatoes may be replanted at any time. A twelve-month interval is required for leafy,
root and tuber vegetables (except potatoes). A 30-day plant-back interval is required for cereal grains, grasses,
non-grass animal feeds, soybeans and dried beans.
Environmental Precautions
Titan ST is very toxic to wild birds and wild mammals when used as a seed treatment. Do not expose treated seed
pieces on the soil surface. Any spilled or exposed seed pieces should be incorporated into the soil or otherwise
cleaned up from the soil surface. Titan ST is also toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water or to
areas where surface water is present. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters.
