*Note: these seeds have been treated with 42-S Thiram Fungacide and it is recommended to use gloves when handling them. The seeds are safe to use and grow.
About 42-S Thiram Fungacide:
Thiram is an fungicide and it's wise to wear gloves when seeding as a precaution. That seed should not be consumed directly by humans or animals and cannot be used in organically certified land (or land in transition).
It's on the seed because it prevents soil borne diseases during plant establishment and growth (i.e. damping off).
