IMPORTANT: Some insecticide-treated seed is coated with commercially applied talc. It is important that the recommended amount of talc be added in addition to talc already on the seed.

NOTE: Using talc with liquid hopper-applied seed treatments which leave a wet coating on seed is not recommended.

Seed treatments can cause a deterioration in seed singulation, spacing accuracy and seed flow into vacuum seed meter. To minimize effect seed treatments may have on vacuum meter performance,

Spread 120 mL (1/2 cup) of talc over top of each 1.6 bu. hopper full of seeds or 240 mL (1 cup) of talc over top of each 3.0 bu. hopper full of seeds. Adjust this rate as necessary so all seeds become coated with talc, while avoiding an accumulation of talc settling in bottom of seed hopper.

For small seed sizes, seed types with excessive treatment or for humid planting environments (all commonly associated with cotton or sorghum planting), increasing rate to one cup per hopper full of seed and mixing thoroughly may be required.
