SOMBRERO® 600 FS
Flexible seed treatment partner that gives you long‑lasting, early season control of wireworms and flea beetles – in cereals, oilseeds, soybeans and corn.
General Info
HOW IT WORKS
SOMBRERO® 600 FS contains a proven, highly effective seed treatment insecticide that gives you broad-spectrum control of above and below ground pests. Once treated seed is planted, the active ingredient in SOMBRERO® 600 FS is released and forms a protective barrier around the seed. As the plant grows, systemic action transports SOMBRERO® 600 FS throughout the developing stem and leaves, ensuring lasting insect control and giving the crop the defense to grow to its potential.

APPLICATION RATES AND ACRES TREATED
- Please refer to the label for application rates or the table below as these vary based on seed type.
WATER VOLUME
- Dilute in sufficient liquid to achieve uniform coverage on the seed.
| Crop | Insect | Rate | Application Information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corn, Field corn for seed production | Wireworms | 21.3 ml/ 80,000 seeds | Dilute in sufficient water to achieve uniform coverage on the seed. Ensure seed is adequately coloured. Other polymers and coating materials may be required |
| Field corn for seed production | Corn flea beetle | 80 ml/ 80,000 seeds | Dilute in sufficient water to achieve uniform coverage on the seed. Ensure seed is adequately coloured. Other polymers and coating materials may be required |
| Wheat (durum, spring, winter), Barley, Oats | Wireworms | 17 – 50 ml/ 100 kg seed | Dilute in sufficient liquid to achieve uniform coverage on the seed. |
| Soybeans | Soybean aphid, Bean leaf beetle, Seedcorn maggot, Wireworm | 104 – 208 ml/ 100 kg seed | Use the higher rate for early planting, when insect populations are expected to be high, and to extend control period for aphids. Dilute in sufficient liquid to achieve uniform coverage on the seed. |
| Canola/Mustard | Flea beetle | 667 – 1333 ml/ 100 kg seed I | In areas where flea beetle populations are high, use the higher application rate. |
This product contains no colourant. All seed treated with this product must be conspicuously coloured at the time of treatment. An appropriate colourant must be added when this product is applied. Regulations pertaining to the “Seeds Act” must be strictly adhered to when using this product. A blue colourant must be added when this product is applied to oilseed, and an appropriate colour must be added when this product is applied to corn, cereals and soybeans.
USE RESTRICTIONS1 :
1. Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing.
2. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 4 weeks after planting.
3. Mustard greens grown or harvested from SOMBRERO® 600 FS treated seed can’t be used for human consumption.
4. Treated canola, rapeseed or mustard (condiment type only) seed stored for periods exceeding 6 months may decrease in germination at a faster rate than untreated seed. Treated seed stored for more than 6 months should be tested for germination before planting. Do not store treated seed above 25º C or in direct sunlight.
5. This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. Using it in areas where soils are permeable, or the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
1 All bags containing treated seed must be labelled or tagged. Please see label for instructions.
