Possible Agricultural Chemical Hazards:
Read and follow all supplier cautions for safe handling of
treated seed.
Irritant and Chronic Exposure Hazards:
Do not mix lubricants into seed with hands or any part of
body. Wear protective equipment. Use tools. See page 116.
7. Pre-mix seed and lubricant. For clean seeds other
than milo, cotton, and sunflowers sprinkle
1 ⁄
4
cup of
Ezee Glide Plus per bushel or unit (60 ml per
35 liters) of seed.
For milo, cotton, and sunflowers double the
application to
1 ⁄
2
cup (or more) per bu or unit (120 ml
per 35 liters) of seed.
For canola or mustard, 1 cup (240 ml) per 30 pound
(13.6 kg) bag is a minimum starting value. Mix the
seed lubricant early during the seed loading. Use
more lubricant in extremely dry conditions.
8. Add seed and lubricant to hoppers.
9. Close lids. Position front end of lid over front end lip
of hopper. Snap lid firmly in place.
Population Risk:
The seed must be properly lubricated, starting with the first
seed through the meter. If unable to pre-mix prior to loading,
pre-mix at least one gallon (4 liters) per hopper, and load this
seed first. Fill the hoppers to half full with fresh seed. Add half
the lubricant and stir. Complete filling the hoppers and
sprinkle the remaining lubricant on top.
