The term "treated" when used in connection with the labeling of any seedstock shall be construed to mean that the seed has received an application of a substance or has been subjected to a process for which a claim is made. Labeling for treated seed shall include commonly accepted coined, chemical (generic), or abbreviated chemical name; the word(s) "poison", "poison treated" or similar wording for mecurials or similarly toxic-substances; and cautionary statement "Do not use for food, feed or oil purposes". This requirement follows closely the regulations of the Federal Seed Act pertaining to treated seed.
