FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS
LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR INSECT AND/OR DISEASE
CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed or seed known to be of low
vigor and poor quality may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and
seedling vigor. Treat a quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for
treating the total seed lot. Prior to treatment, conduct germination tests on a portion of
seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment.
Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the
control of Syngenta, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of seed or
propagating material for all crop seed when treated with THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST].
USE INFORMATION
THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] is a seed treatment product containing the active
ingredients: thiamethoxam (insecticide) and fludioxonil and mefenoxam (fungicides).
THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] protects against damage from listed early season
insects, soil-borne and seed-borne diseases of soybeans.
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid
class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam protects against certain chewing and sucking insects
through contact and ingestion.
Mefenoxam fungicide is active against Pythium, Phytophthora and systemic downy
mildew.
Fludioxonil fungicide is active against Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and suppresses seed-
borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis species.
MIXING PROCEDURES
Important: Always re-circulate THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] thoroughly before using.
The typical density of THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] is 9.6 pounds per gallon. Consult
the manufacturer of the application equipment you plan to use for suitability for this
application and for instructions on operation and calibration of the equipment. Follow
the manufacturer application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used.
Apply THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry
seed treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or
incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control.
8
Thoroughly mix the specified amount of THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] into the required
amount of water or liquid inoculant for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used.
Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted.
THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] is compatible with several liquid inoculant products.
Consult the maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta Crop Protection
representative for directions before applying THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] with
inoculants.
Under certain disease conditions, additional amounts of fungicides may be required.
When needed, apply additional Apron XL® or similar fungicide. Other tank mix partners
may be used with THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST]; however, the user must consider the
use rate, formulation, seed and crop safety factors and compatibility of each product to
be mixed when determining the total application volume.
The total application volume must be sufficient to provide desired level of coverage.
Dilution is typically done with water or liquid inoculants. The minimum slurry volume to
achieve adequate coverage is 4.0 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed. More diluent
may be required to obtain complete coverage.
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out
of the solution.
Allow seed to dry before bagging.
Follow planter manufacturer recommendations for use of seed lubricant/fluency agent,
or other hopper box additives at planting. Seed should be completely dry before adding
to planter.
Seed treated with this product must be visually identifiable from untreated seed by the
use of an approved colorant or dye to prevent accidental use of treated seed as food for
humans or feed for animals. Refer to 21 CFR, Part 2.25. Any colorant or dye added to
treated seed must be cleared for use in accordance with 40 CFR 153.155(c).
ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS

CROP USE PRECAUTIONS
Resistance Management
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
For resistance management, please note that THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] contains
Group 4/mefenoxam and Group 12/fludioxonil fungicides. Any fungal population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] and other Group
4 or Group 12 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if
these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-
management strategies should be followed.
Mefenoxam belongs to the phenylamide class of chemistry which interferes with fungal
RNA synthesis. Fludioxonil belongs to the phenylpyrrole class of chemistry which
interferes with osmotic signal transduction.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] or other Group 4 or Group 12
fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the
same pathogens.
x Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that are equally effective on
the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application
rate as labeled by the manufacturer.
x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and
which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on
disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other
chemical control practices.
x Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide
applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage
resistance.
x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crop
and pathogens.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta at 1-866-
Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or
university extension specialist to report resistance.
Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long term
control of the fungal diseases on this label.
12
THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE
For resistance management, THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] contains a Group
4A/thiamethoxam insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally
resistant to THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] and other Group 4A insecticides. The
resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are
used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies
should be followed.
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of
chemistry which includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.
To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] or other Group 4A insecticides
within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that
control the same pests.
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are equally effective
on the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture
repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance
issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture. In
addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide
Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and
be applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against
the target species.
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification
are not recommended for insect resistance management.
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the
individual components for the targeted pest(s).
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both
active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest
if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity.
Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may
offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both
insecticides are active.
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record
keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control
practices.
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival
suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or
certified pest control advisor.
13
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site
and pest problems in your area.
For additional information on Insecticide Resistance Management:
x Contact Syngenta representatives at 1-800-334-9481

When to Add Additional Apron XL or similar fungicide:
If target fields have a history of high Phytophthora pressure, add additional Apron XL (or
similar fungicide) as directed in the product label. The additional Apron XL may reduce
compatibility with some rhizobia inoculants. Consult with the maker of rhizobia
inoculants before adding the additional Apron XL.
Stored Grain Protection
When treated according to the directions for post-planting protection against listed
pests, THX/MXM/FDL CZ [Adage ST] will also provide protection during post treatment
storage of the soybean seed against damage from the following stored grain insects:
Indian Meal Moth (Plodia interpunctella), Rice Weevil (Sitophilus oryza), Red Flour
Beetle (Tribolium castaneum), and Lesser Grain Borer (Rhizopertha dominica).
If the soybean seed to be treated has existing infestations of stored grain insects, it is
recommended that the seed be fumigated prior to treating with THX/MXM/FDL CZ
[Adage ST] and bagging.
