PRODUCT INFORMATION
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro is a seed treatment product containing one insecticide active
ingredient (thiamethoxam) and four fungicide active ingredients (difenoconazole,
mefenoxam, fludioxonil and sedaxane). Cruiser Vibrance Quattro seed treatment
protects against damage from certain early-season insects and certain seed- and soil-
borne diseases of cereal crops. Difenoconazole provides protection against several
seed, seedling and certain foliar disease including bunts and smuts. Mefenoxam
protects against damping-off caused by Pythium. Fludioxonil provides protection
against certain soil-borne and seed-borne diseases and is active against Fusarium,
Rhizoctonia, and weakly pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus and Penicillium
.
Sedaxane protects against Rhizoctonia and loose smuts (Ustilago).
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neoticotinoid
class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam in Cruiser Vibrance Quattro protects against aphids,
wireworm and European chafer.
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro may be applied in tank mixes, or sequentially with other EPA-
registered seed treatment pesticide products. If using Cruiser Vibrance Quattro in a tank
mixture with other seed treatment products, observe all directions for use, crops/sites,
use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank-mix
partner label(s). Do not exceed any label dosage and follow the most restrictive label
precautions and limitations. This product must not be mixed with any product which
prohibits such mixing.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: Always re-circulate Cruiser Vibrance Quattro thoroughly before using.
Apply Cruiser Vibrance Quattro 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 insect and disease control.
Consult the manufacturer of the application equipment you plan to employ 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.
-8-
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 specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives at
planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro contains an EPA approved dye/colorant that imparts an
unnatural color to the seed as required by the Federal Seed Act.
SEED BAG 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 difenoconazole, mefenoxam, fludioxonil and
sedaxane fungicides and thiamethoxam insecticide.
x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.
x User is responsible for ensuring that the seed bag meets all requirements under
the Federal Seed Act.
In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements
on bags containing seeds treated with Cruiser Vibrance Quattro:

CROP USE PRECAUTIONS
Resistance Management
DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
For resistance management, please note that Cruiser Vibrance Quattro contains Group
3/difenoconazole, Group 4/mefenoxam, Group 7/sedaxane, and Group 12/fludioxonil
fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Cruiser
Vibrance Quattro and other Group 3, Group 4, Group 7, or Group 12 fungicides. A
-10-
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.
Difenoconazole belongs to the triazole class of chemistry and is a demethylation
inhibitor of sterol biosynthesis (DMI) which disrupts membrane synthesis of the fungal
cell. Mefenoxam belongs to the phenylamide class of chemistry which interferes with
fungal RNA synthesis. Sedaxane is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) and
belongs to the carboxamide class of chemistry which disrupts cellular respiration and
energy generation. 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 Cruiser Vibrance Quattro or other Group 3, Group 4, Group 7,
or Group 12 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups
that control the same pathogens.
x Use tank mixtures with fungicides 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 application. 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
crops 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.

THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro contains a Group 4A insecticide (thiamethoxam, belonging to
the neonicotinoid class of chemistry). Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent
resistance to Group 4A insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if
Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for
targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by
thiamethoxam or other Group 4A insecticides.
In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry:
x Avoid using Group 4A insecticides exclusively for season long control of insect
species with more than one generation per crop season.
x For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, apply Cruiser
Vibrance Quattro or other Group 4A insecticides using a “treatment window”
approach. A treatment window is a period of time as defined by the stage of crop
development and/or the biology of the pests of concern. Within the treatment
window, depending on the length of residual activity, there may either be single or
consecutive applications (seed treatment, soil, foliar, unless otherwise stated in the
Directions for Use) of the Group 4A insecticides. When using Cruiser Vibrance
Quattro seed treatment in the first treatment window rotate to effective products with
a different mode of action in the subsequent treatment window before making
additional applications of Group 4A insecticides.
x A treatment window rotation, along with other IPM practices for the crop and use
area, is considered an effective strategy for preventing or delaying a pest’s ability to
develop resistance to this class of chemistry.
x If resistance is suspected, do not reapply Cruiser Vibrance Quattro or any other
Group 4A insecticides.
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include:
x Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program.
x Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy.
x Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of
action group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same crop
outlet and effective rates are applied.
For additional information on Insect Resistance Management:
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product
manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations.
x Visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at:
http://www.irac-online.org/.
Consult your local pest control advisor or extension office for additional methods for
preventing resistance development. Syngenta encourages responsible product
stewardship to ensure effective long term control of the insect pests on this label.
