The 230 mL rate will give partial control of true loose smut in wheat and barley and stem smut in rye. Use 330 mL rate for the control of seed-borne
Septoria on wheat and seed rot and seedling blight caused by
Fusarium
spp.,
Cochliobolus sativus
,
Pythium
spp.,
Penicillium
spp.,
Aspergillus
spp,
Alternaria
;
also suppression of root rot caused by
Cochliobolus sativus
on cereals (wheat, barley, oats and rye).
**
Use a 260 mL rate for control of
Rhizoctonia solani
and
Fusarium
spp. Use a 330 mL rate for control of
Mycosphaerella pinodes
(
Ascochyta).
***
Avoid planting corn under cold, wet conditions. Stress conditions during the first few weeks after planting may increase the incidence of head smut.
Will not control soil-borne head smut.

Application Tips
Treat only clean seed of known quality that is free of debris and dust. Uniform coverage is critical to obtain optimum
results; uneven seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Consult manufacturer’s label or
recommendations with regard to the use of Vitaflo 280/Vitaflo SP/Viterra Vitaflo and rhizobia inoculants.
How it Works
Thiram is a fungicide that controls diseases carried on the seed. Carbathiin is a systemic fungicide that penetrates the
seed coat to control diseases inside the seed and seedling.
Restrictions
Grazing
:
Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 4 weeks after planting except for the following crops:
Soybeans – Do not graze or feed livestock on forage and hay on treated areas. Dry beans – Do not graze or feed on
bean forage for 60 days after planting. Barley, oats, wheat – Do not graze or feed on treated area for six weeks after
planting. Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing.
Environmental Precautions
Do not contaminate ponds, lakes or streams.

Storage
Do not store Vitaflo 280/Vitaflo SP/Viterra Vitaflo at temperatures above 35°C. These products will not freeze solid
even in extreme winter temperatures. If containers have been in storage for several months, some settling may occur
and containers may require agitation.
