Insure Pulse has three active ingredients from Groups 4, 7 and 11 for multiple modes of action and premium, broad-spectrum control of key diseases affecting pulse and flax crops.
In addition, Insure Pulse offers greater germination for improved emergence and enhanced seedling vigour with Plant Health Benefits1, plus the translocation and mobility characteristics of Xemium for more consistent and continuous protection.
Xemium has unique mobility characteristics, enabling it to spread from roots to shoots and throughout the seedling. This plant-wide distribution, protects the crop right from initial development, providing reliable, consistent disease control. Control of key diseases causing root rot, seed rot and, seedling blight contributes to a better plant stand, the foundation for a healthier, more profitable crop.

Apply using standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment application equipment.
When used at the recommended rate, no additional dyes or dilutions with water are needed unless recommended by the manufacturer of the seed treatment application equipment.
Please consult the seed treatment application equipment manufacturer in question for further directions.
Thorough seed coverage offers the best protection from seed-borne, soil-borne, and seedling diseases. Uniform application on seed and complete seed coverage are necessary for seed safety and best protection against disease. Seed should be sound and well cleaned prior to treatment.
Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil producing.
Insure Pulse contains sufficient pigment to conspicuously colour and coat treated seed. Regulations pertaining to the colouration of treated seed enforced under the “Seeds Act” must be strictly adhered to when using Insure Pulse.
An Insure Pulse fungicide seed treatment tag for use when labeling treated seed is available in the Download Centre.
Apply Insure Pulse fungicide seed treatment at 300 ml/100 kg (220 lb) seed for all pulses and soybean, at 300 to 600 ml/100 kg seed for flax4 and at 600 ml/100 kg seed for mustard.

4 For flax (Linum usitatissimum), use a higher rate of 600 ml/100 kg seed if: a) there is a history of high disease pressures in the field or b) where field conditions favour seed- and soil-borne pathogens. If using the 600 ml/100 kg rate, it is highly recommended that the seed be treated into a bin or truck box to allow the treated seed to dry prior to placing into the seeder hopper. This will prevent clumping and bridging in the seeder.
BASF strictly adheres to regulations pertaining to the colouration of treated seed, enforced under the “Seeds Act”. Therefore, Insure Seed Treatments contain sufficient pigment to visibly colour and coat the seed. This can stain truck boxes blue or red. MS Schippers Foam or Enviro Clean can be used to help remove stains from the surface of equipment dyed by Insure seed treatments.
If desired, based on treating conditions, applicators can dilute Insure brand seed treatments with water. Increase the use rate proportionally to the dilution rate (E.g. 100 ml water + 300 ml Insure® Cereal FX4 = 400 ml/100 kg seed). BASF supports the addition of water to Insure Cereal FX4 to a maximum volume of 600 ml (300 ml additional water per 100 kg).
Seed treated with Insure seed treatments can be stored for up to one year without impacting seed germination and viability. Beyond one year, seed should be re-treated to maintain product efficacy
Calibration documents for A4, G3 and G40 treating systems can all be found on the website product pages for each Insure brand seed treatment.
Treatment rate is based on total weight, not the number of bushels of seed or bushel weight. Each Insure brand technology sheet provides details on application rates for all labeled crops by pack size.
