1. Follow directions on seed container labeling.
2. Eliminate weeds in the field prior to planting.
3. Minimize dust by using advanced seed flow lubricants.
4. “BeeAware” of honey bees and hives located near the field.
5. Ensure that any spilled seeds are removed or covered by soil to protect wildlife and the environment.
6. And remove all treated seed left in equipment.
