Success – a purchase of Certified Seed opens the door to opportunities for success: • Quality assurance • Access to new and improved varieties • Efficient use of inputs • New marketing opportunities • It supports the development of new varieties for the future Before opening a bag of seed, be sure to read and understand the stewardship requirements, including applicable refuge requirements for insect resistance management, for the biotechnology traits expressed in the seed set forth in the technology agreement that you sign. By opening and using a bag of seed, you are reaffirming your obligation to comply with those stewardship requirements. Protecting Pollinators: If you use a seed flow lubricant when planting treated seed, PMRA requires the use of a Fluency Agent to reduce dust on insecticide treated seed. Carefully follow use directions for this product.* * Not all planter types require seed flow lubricants; check with your Maizex Seeds representative for more information. Best Management Practices • Control flowering weeds in the field prior to planting so that bees are not attracted to the field for foraging. • Provide pollinator-friendly habitats away from active fields. • Be aware of hive locations and monitor environmental conditions. • Avoid generating dust when handling or loading treated seed. • Ensure proper cleanup and disposal. • Speak to your equipment dealer or manufacturer about the appropriateness of deflector kits for North American vacuum planters.
