Dear Ricky Kyaw:
The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA),
as amended, has completed reviewing all the information submitted with your application to
support the Registration Review of the above referenced product in connection with the
Thiabendazole and Fludioxonil Interim Decisions, and has concluded that your submission is
acceptable. The mitigations from the Metalaxyl-M Interim Decision were incorporated onto the
label when the product was first registered on January 24, 2020. The label referred to above,
submitted in connection with registration under FIFRA, as amended, is acceptable.
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please
be aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the
product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E).
40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In
addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on
the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration
process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website
contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved
registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance

x Groundwater Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. Fludioxonil has
properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater.
These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
x Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact surface water quality due to
runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with
shallow groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching
surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-
maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and
surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential
loading of mefenoxam from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur
within 48 hours.

7.0 SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS
The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with
the following statements:
x This seed has been treated with thiabendazole, sedaxane, mefenoxam and
fludioxonil fungicides.
x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.
In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements
on bags containing seeds treated with Vibrance Maxx RTA:
x Non-Target Organism Advisory Statement: This product may adversely impact non-
target organisms feeding on treated seeds. Protect the non-target organisms by
following label directions intended to minimize availability of treated seed to non-
target organisms.
o Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading and planting in areas
(such as in row ends).
o Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of
water.
x Ground Water Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into groundwater
under certain conditions as a result of label use. Fludioxonil has properties and
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. These chemicals
may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow.

of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow

water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading
of mefenoxam from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced
by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48
hours.
x Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.
x Store treated seed away from feeds and foodstuffs.
x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical-resistant gloves (made of barrier
laminate, butyl rubber ≥14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥14 mils,
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥14 mils, or Viton ≥14 mils) when handling treated seed.
x Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch.
x Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment wash
waters.
x Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements.
x Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) by-products are
not used for livestock feed, and (2) no measurable residues of pesticide remain in
the ethanol by-products that are used in agronomic practice.
x Do not apply more than 0.041 lb ai/Acre (19 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of
sedaxane-containing products as a seed treatment on Legume Vegetables
(Succulent or Dried) Crop Group 6 (except soybeans).
x Do not apply more than 0.25 lb ai/A (115 g/A) per calendar year of mefenoxam- or
metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Legume Vegetables
(Succulent or Dried) Crop Group 6 (except soybeans).
x Do not apply more than 0.15 lb ai/Acre (68 g ai/A) per calendar year of
thiabendazole-containing products regardless of the type of application.
x This seed has been treated with 2.5 g fludioxonil/100 kg seed, 3.75 g
mefenoxam/100 kg seed, 5.0 g sedaxane/100 kg seed, and 15 g thiabendazole/100
kg seed.
x Make no more than 2 plantings of seed treated with Vibrance Maxx RTA per year.
